OT: Messenger Service Pop-ups



Hi all.  For the past few months I have been plagued by these stupid "Messenger Service" windows that pop up.  Often, when I've been away from my computer for a couple of hours, I'll have to close 5 or 6 of them.   I have a pop-up blocker that blocks pop-ups in internet explorer, but it doesn't catch these.  I have run ad-aware6, with it's updates, and that never does any good.  I have rebuilt the machine from scratch a couple of times, but the windows keep coming back.  The "Messenger Service" windows don't show up in the task manager, and I haven't been able to relate them to any particular processes.  Please help me get rid of these annoying things.  

The content of the window usually says something like: Message from AEKJFNE to XXXXXX:   You need a University Diploma! ....

...or some other spam like that.  

I wish the assholes who create stuff like this would get a life and realize that it isn't morally right to knowingly annoy people just because you can, it suits your needs, or otherwise makes you happy.

XP with all (I think) updates, cable modem.
