    Anyone else getting these messages while browsing? The annoying windows messenger or alerter messages telling you your machine is unsafe or trying to get you to buy something. This is only a problem with Windows XP. Click the link below to stop these messages. Works great and pretty simple too.

    Fills up your cache too. I have one machine that stays online all the time. I don't use a firewall on that machine just because I don't care what happens to it. I leave all the drives shared and no firewall. Went in one day and about 200 of these messages had to be closed.
