If it's MSN contacts then go to TOOLS, OPTIONS, PRIVACY and make sure the "only people on my contact lists can see my status and send me messages" box is ticked.
If the pop-ups aren;t coming via MSN then you've got some sort of adware/spyware on your system
Do you mean MSN (now Windows Live Messenger) or Windows Messenger?
If the popups look lie this, it's Windows Messenger, and you should stop the messenger service (unless you have a reason not to do so, but I can't really think of one...)
