Messenger Screen Bug?

[Patrick]

Everytime I connect to the internet (with all messengers
closed) there will pop-up on my screen telling me to buy
somethings or upgrade your OS and the windows label is
Messenger. What the heck! Now I uninstalled all
messengers and it still pop-up!

This is not Instant Messenger(s)...
It's Messenger Service. Disable it:
