Anyone else getting an absurd amount of MSN popup porn spam? It's getting out of hand. I'm using trillian if it matters...maybe there's a setting I can change to prevent them?

Disable "messenger" service.
But it basically disables your "net send" function...P4 Northwood 1.8GHz@2.7GHz 1.65V Albatron PX845PEV Pro

WyWyWyWy - I tried that, but I didn't reboot yet (dunno if that matters). The service is stopped at the moment, but I still get them. Again, I dunno if it matters since I'm using Trillian or not.Comment

Too bad Trillian is next to useless for me
I really want to use Trillian because of skinning

Why is it next to useless? Voice stuff?
The skinning is overrated. It was great when it came out, but XP's skinning isn't too bad, and doesn't have the instability of Trillian's.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

I just realised why I get soooo much Hotmail spam. Silly me had put my hotmail address as the admin contact in the WHOIS for a domain I setup a couple of years ago for my brother. D'OH! All changed now.
On topic: Yup, Trillian for me as well. Just wish I could use it (or any instant messaging software) at work...DM says: Crunch with Matrox Users@ClimatePrediction.netComment
