I keep getting random pop-ups with "Messenger Service" on the title bar. It's mostly crap about working from home, losing weight or (lmao) elimianting pop-ups.

I thought this was maybe from Kazaa-Lite. But I have reformatted and installed an old image from BEFORE I had KazaaLite and I'm still getting it.

Is it part of MSN Messenger perhaps?? I'm baffled as to what could be causing this. I've run ad-aware and everything is clean.

I went into "properties" and under "start-up properties" I disabled it. Hopefully that will work.
