Bill,
What you are seeing has been part of the network operating system for over a decade..It's just that spam artist hav just discovered that the new versions of the messenger service allows for larger text messages..
To stop the invacive popups (And I ASSUME you have windows xp or 2000) go to "control panel" then "administrative tools". Find services and double click. In the list of services find "Messenger" then double click on it. Change the startup type to "Disabled".. Close all windows and reboot...No more Messages..

Have fun,
Craig Larsen
