Past week or so I've gotten some damn spam popups. Regular dialogs. You know, common dialog or something.

I went into Admin Tool > Services > Messenger and turned it off.
Not sure if that fixed it. Have to wait to see if I get anymore.

Any ideas what is causing these Webpopups if that's not it?

I've have been thinking about progs that I've recently installed and I can't seem to find anything that would do this. I also took a quick romp through the registry in the usual haunts, but I haven't found anything suspicious. Been trying Google, but nothing just yet.

Thanks, Rappy. I remember skimming through that thread.
Looks like I may have nailed it on a hunch.
