While that's sound advice on how to stop that damned windoze messenger service from spamming you, what I was specifically asking about was an internet explorer window popping up with a header of:
"Connect to www.msnusers.com" (in the title bar)

Under that in the actual window it says:
Welcome to MSN communities!
Please sign in with your Passport account.

It then has a drop down box to type in a "email address" and a password box under that.
There's a checkbox to "Sign me in automatically'

In the lower left corner there's a link to "get a .net passport' and one for 'help'

I'm not about to sign up for ANYTHING Micro$oft has to offer!
