Does anyone know why these messages keep popping up. There are no windows open this is a business computer. Javascript is disabled in ie. They just pop up about every hour or hour and a half. Messenger Service. The latest message is for sex pics. It varies what message comes up. Someone please shed some light on this problem. Thanks
