I am forever being bombarded with messenger service messages from somebody calling herself Janita Girl. How the hell do i get rid of this crap??

I also have a suggested selection of favourites that constantly flash along the bottom of the toolbar. These all end up in my favourites folder and i can't find anything. Any idea how to get rid of this too ???

I'm using XP Professional.

Sorry to the Mods if this is posted in the wrong place

cheers

search for this, there was the same question pop up today, and it was answered a few days ago by ps2wiz, try looking in http://www.cdrom-guide.com/forums/s...threadid=239942 .

about the other question, do you have any special toolbars installed like google toolbar, or yahoo, alexa, or anything?

not sure if it would be listed in this since i never use IE anymore, but have you tried right clicking the toolbar, and go to customize toolbar to see if anything is in there? if its nothing you have done, it might would probably be spyware, and you can get rid of that with ad-aware 6 from hotfiles.com

Put your XP firewall on, that solved the problem for me.
