Are you talking about those messenger pop ups?

Either enable your firewall, which stopped them for me,
or do the following:

Go to CONTROL PANEL.
Go to ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS.
Go to SERVICES.
Find MESSENGER.
Right Click MESSENGER and click PROPERTIES.
Find STATUS TYPE, and select DISABLED.
Click APLLY and/Or OK.

Ta da :) I hope that helped. PLEASE note: this does not
disable MSN messenger. If you are on a PC network, you'll
not be able to get messages from your administrator -
this is netsend, I believe. But don't quote me on that.

Have a nice day,
Stacey
