Just in case anyone hasn't sussed this out,I've worked out how to stop those annoying messenger pop-ups! Just follow the instructions below and it should stop them.

1. Open 'Control Panel' and double click on 'Administrative Tools'.

2. Double click 'Services' and change to Extended view if not already in it.

3. Scroll down the list and find 'Messenger' or 'Messenger Service', right click on it and go to 'Properties'.

4. Press the 'Stop' button in the 'Service Status' section of the General tab.

5. Change the 'Start up Type to 'DISABLED'.

6. Click 'Apply' and then 'OK' and that's it!

You should never receive another pop up again! (well not on your computer anyway!!!!!)
