    Shoot The Messenger is a very simple tool that helps you get rid of annoying IP based Messenger popup ads (the ones that use the Windows NT/2000/XP Messenger service). These popups are unlike regular popups, since they abuse the Messenger Service, which is intended to send text messages across a network, using the computer`s IP address. They can appear as dialog box on your desktop if you have the Messenger Service enabled and are not using a firewall. Shoot The Messenger will display the current status of the Messenger Service and allows you to turn it off/on with a simple click, without having to go into the Windows configurations panel. The program does not need to be running after the service has been turned on or off. It can also be used from the commandline.

    Popup Manager is a small popup stopper add-on for IE that automatically disables all popup windows. It works a little different from most others, by adding a small color coded area to the bottom left corner of IE and displays a small icon for each popup closed. Clicking on them allows you to open the blocked popup and right clicking provides access to several options. Easy to use, effective blocking. Useful if you want to keep an eye on blocked windows, with quick access to re-open them if needed. Has a short delay with some popups, so you`ll see a tiny "flash" in some cases.
