Subject: [isp-security] Messenger Pop Ups?


Over the last coule of days, I've seen "Windows" (ie. not web) pop ups on a 
couple of
machines - "Windows Messenger Popups", I believe, with some ad in it.  I 
don't know
if it is similar to IM with a pop up message.

Would this be coming via the "Messenger" service, and if so, can I safely 
shut that service off?
Is it commonly used by the systems?

Thanks
