Does McAfee have a firewall? Turn it on.
Also turn your Windows Firewall on...

At this point, I am not sure if it is a popup ad designed to look like messenger, or a real Messenger service message.

If it is a messager service, it is coming in directly from a program random dialing IP addresses and is a real vulnerability, if it only happens at that site, it is a popup ad.

Either way, turn the firewalls on.... if it is a popup ad, then you can stop being freaked out by it.... If it is really a messenger message, they should stop.

Ok...they are both on.

What does this mean?

"Generic Host Process for Win32 Services v5.1.2600.0", located in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\svchost.exe", to communicate in a way that was disallowed by the program's filtering rules. The data direction was outbound. The IP protocol type was UDP/IP. The remote port was 666 [Nok Nok (trojan)]. The IP address was (removed by me). The user's response to the alert was to always deny this kind of communication in the future.

What is svchost.exe?
