to turn off messenger service:

start>run, type "services.msc"
right click messenger, select properties
check startup type, to prevent popups it should be "disabled" then once youve selected disabled click on the button that says "stop" then click apply then ok..

its set to automatic as standard and CAN be the cause of loads of popups, (they look like grey windows style messages)
