- Help Tips for CoffeeCup DirectAd Blocker
- ========================================
-
-
- What are DirectAds ?
-
- They are messages sent DIRECTLY to your computer.
- They are not email messages or JavaScript through your browser.
- They use a utility built into Windows called Messenger Service
- They are "completely anonymous and virtually untraceable"
- and can pop up on your computer screen at any time.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- To Stop DirectAds from Appearing on your computer
- just Click 'Push Here to Stop Ads'
-
- Then Click 'Apply/Minimize'
-
- That's it your done. Blocker will then be minimized to your
- system tray. (near your clock)
-
-
- You can change your settings or exit Blocker by right clicking the tray icon.
- (exiting saves room in your tray but remembers your settings)
-
- Also clicking the [x] at the top of the program will
- remember your settings but Blocker will not appear in your system tray.
- If you want to make changes again you must go to the CoffeeCup Software
- program group and run Blocker from there.
-
-
-
- Windows 95/98/ME users do not have the 'Messenger Service Startup Type' options
- This is because Messenger was not integrated with Win95/98/ME to run when your
- computer first started. These choices are grayed out and are not important.
- Just Click 'Stop Messenger Service' and you are done.
-
-
- Windows 2000/XP/NT users are very affected by Messenger and the Ads
- that can result. You have options on how Messenger which is integrated into
- your operating system will be treated from now on.
-
- Automatic - Starts the Messenger service every time your computer is turned on making
- you vulnerable to ads. (you probably don't want this option)
-
- Manual - Starts Messenger only when you want to start it by hand or by another service.
- (not a good idea but an option)
-
- Disabled - This means completely. Nothing can turn it on or off except you.
- (highly recommended setting)
