I don't know if this is relevant but here's some info
on "Messenger Service"
http://www.lavahelp.com/articles/v6/03/05/0302.html
For other types of popups (not "Messenger Service"), a
good free popup blocker is Popup Manager from here:
http://www.endpopups.com/
Cookiewall allows you to decide which cookies you want to
allow on your computer:

ie-spyad adds a list of restricted sites to IE (many XXX
sites): http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/resource.htm
Spywareblaster also blocks many "malicious" sites:
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
Ie-spyad and Spywareblaster are both updated frequently.
Download and run regularly Adaware (free version) from
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
It detects and safely removes dataminers, tracking
cookies, dialers and other objects from your computer.
Use "webupdate" before you scan to make sure you have the
latest ref file. Run a "full scan"
