Well, I must admit that I am confused. I have a pop-up blocker inside my web browser and a firewall also. I was thinking that my windows is clean as heaven, but early this morning, I saw a pop-up window message when I started my computer. It tells me to visit a certain web site. Just that. Visit www. Blah, blah.. .com. All I can do is to click ok. I did several scans with my antivirus software and nothing. The problem remains. What am I supposed to do with this? What kind of add this is? Thanks in advance.

Oh, you have got the new version of spam message. It is no big deal, and that is why your antivirus did nothing. You probably clicked on allow inside your firewall, when some hacker tracked down your IP address. To disable this, go to the services.msc, or type that inside your run dialog box, without the quotas. Find the messenger service and disable that service for sure. In that way, you cannot receive console messages.
