Hey people, after I updated to Win XP so I can sync my P800 I've had nasty spyware issues. I don't know how true it is but could this be microsoft spyware like a friend told me? Is there any real way to get rid of it instead of just blocking the gay ads that pop up every few minutes? I can't play a decent game without it crashing cause of this crap and its done nothing but piss me off. Can anyone help me figure out how to get rid of the crap? |

I doubt its my service/broswer. I have a comcast cable modem and usually use IE6. But you don't have to have IE open to get these pop ups. Also on the title bar of the pop ups it says Windows Messenger. And I can't seem to find Windows Messenger to get rid of it. I think microsoft has something to do with this spyware. |
