Triumphant!

At long last, mostly because I was (a) too shy to ask a computer savvy friend for help and (b) too lazy to do a little research on the matter, I've figured out how to eliminate those damn Windows Messaging, grey-screen pop-up ads that were absolutely driving me up the fucking wall. I only ever get them occasionally when I'm in Belgium -- normally, something about how 'she' is looking for a 'Belgian boy' to talk to -- but it's made my online life in Glasgow a living hell. Ah, but those days are over. Triumph. I rule!! Thank you, PC Hell.
