good link

if you don't want to remove the messenger service, you can just disable/ reenable it when you need to with this tool:

Helpful link - although it is for removing XP's Windows Messenger instant messaging client (like MSN Messenger)

The link on that site for stopping the totally different NT/2K/XP Messenger Service (which is what causes the pop-ups) is http://www.pchell.com/support/ipmessaging.shtml
