Blocking a certain type of spam?

Hi
I get tons of one type of spam...looks like a colored rectangle with writing inside and a bunch of crap written beneath it..Is there a blocker out that catches this type of spam?

how are you getting this? Do you have a Yahoo!! or a MSN account,etc.

Nope...Just my regular email....I think it's some kind of spam for stocks....I have Suddenlink and normal spam they have caught..

what colour is the rectangle, what service pack have you got installed?

 

[ttomm461]

Kind of grayish..SP2

Hmm, i was gonna say that it might be messenger service, but that should be disabled in SP2. You can check anyway by going to control panel > admin tools > services > look for messenger then right click it and disable it. And dont worry its not MSN messenger.

Download hijackthis aswell and post the log you get.
