he's talking about this pop up that comes up about every 20 minutes in winxp if you aren't running a firewall. this shit is actually installed with winxp. even with the firewall on it attempts to send an outgoing connection which i've set my firewall to block. it's the svchost.exe. Unfortunately it can't be deleted but using a firewall will end it.
oh ok thats the messenger service.yup its a bitch.
and yes a good firewall will end it or you could just turn off the messenger SERVICE.
if you dont know how than just get a firewall Ireccomend sygate or norton

no I know how to stop it. There is a small program that can disable messenger service. The thing is the pop up is selling software to stop pop ups. Thats like if Macafee Security created viruses while selling virus removal software as well.
Basically a conflict of interest.
