The best way to get rid of these pop-ups is to turn off your
monitor or your PC: IT'S NOT THE MESSENGER SERVICE THAT CAUSES
THE POP-UPS, IT'S YOUR BAD CONFIGURED WIDE-OPEN WINDOWS!
I suppose you still kill the postman for delivering bad news?!

If you want to cure the problem and not just it's symptoms
go search the MSKB for "DCOM and/or RPC and/or BINDINGS".
