I can't tell what all of them are, but here are the ones that popups come in on: 135, 137, 138, 139, and 445 (I am not sure about 136). Block these ports and I believe you block all the popup messages. Good luck Buck <<<SNIP>>> Here's what's open on my roomies default XP machine. Your guess is as good as mine as to which all that garbage comes in on.
