I keep getting popups from some messenger service on my computer that say to go to a website to stop them and fix a security risk. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so should I go to one of the websites? I'm only worried about what might come with the fix such as spyware or something. Or, maybe there's a way to disable the messenger.

Stevo, we did a post once but here are some links to make sure you have gotten it.

The second one is better as it has some great screenshots.

Good Luck.

I went to the second one and it explained how to do exactly what the first guy said.
