Sounds like a net message popup. Or you could have nasty little proggies living on your PC. <br><br>First step - download and run Ad-Aware from <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.lavasoft.de">www.lavasoft.de</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> . This will clean up those little proggies and spyware and stuff.<br><br>Second step - get a firewall like BlackIce Defender or something. There are a few very popular free ones out there. Or you can get a home firewall/gateway box for not much bux. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

Gryphon's got it right- It's a net send popup, and they're annoying as hell. I get those if I open my Firewall to send files over Trillian, and if I leave it open for more than an hour. Those net send messages really screwed with a BF 1942 server I had running for some friends one weekend.... <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:arial;font-size:xx-large;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I HATE EZBOARD!!!</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>
