Winferno Software would like to issue a warning that Windows
Messenger Popup ads like these may have come from questionable sources.
|
|
It has come to our attention that some advertisers are running intrusive
advertisements using Windows Messenger popup boxes.
At first glance these ads look like any other warning or informational
message that may popup on your PC, but in reality they are intended to
trick the user into purchasing, downloading or installing unneeded
goods. They can popup even when you’re not running any web, email or
instant messaging program, which makes them increasingly difficult to
spot.
|
|
The main difference is that Windows Messenger popups are controlled by
your operating system whereas normal popups are controlled by your web
browser. The companies that are sending you Windows Messenger popups are
exploiting a service provided in Windows NT, 2000 and XP that was
designed to allow system administrators to send messages to users. For
example, this message box may be used by your printer to inform you of
the status of a print job. But the problem is that anybody can pop up
these windows without authentication.
Please note, this has nothing to do with MSN Messenger,
Yahoo Messenger, or any other instant messaging program.
At Winferno Software we are especially opposed to this kind of intrusive
marketing and have created StopMess, a simple
to use download that blocks these ads with one
click. Our concern about this latest form of SPAM (Windows Messenger
Service popups) led us to develop additional software to prevent users like
you from being tricked or hassled. Best of all, we’re
offering this download Free of charge. (Limited time only)
Every copy of Secure IE comes with a single
click Popup Blocker. This feature is provided via a conveniently located
button at the top of the Secure IE screen and allows the user to block
popups with one click! This is an original feature and has been included
in every version of Secure IE.
