You can prevent WinPopUPs by disabling the Messenger service, however, this may leave you exposed to other security issues so this approach by itself is not recommended.

Note: Some applications: Anti-virus, SQL Job Scheduler, UPS systems, etc.. use Messenger alerts to notify you are critical system events. If you use such products, then you should leave Messenger enabled and use a firewall/router to block the PopUPs.

Here are the procedures for disabling the Messenger service on Windows 2000 and XP systems:

  • Click: Start/Settings/Control Panel
  • Open: Administrative Tools
  • Open: Services
  • Open: 'Messenger' Service
  • Click: Stop button
  • Change 'Startup Type' to MANUAL
  • Click OK to close everything
