Not an MS site, and you don't need their software.
For browser popups, see www.panicware.com for a popup stopper.
For messenger spam, you need a firewall. 'Messenger spam', is not in itself
harmful,
but is symptomatic of a larger problem - your computer has ports open from
the Internet.
You can disable the Messenger service, but that is unwise as a solution as
you'll still have the underlying problem that caused you to get the messages
in the first place - consider the messages a useful warning that you have no
protection from the Internet.
For a standalone machine, see www.sygate.com for a free personal firewall.
See http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm for more info.
