Firstly, make sure you have Administrative Tools enabled......should be an option in your Start Menu (most likely in the Programs sub-menu). If you don't, right-click on your taskbar and select Properties. Click on the Advanced tab, and find the tick-option for "Display Administrative Tools". Tick it and click on OK.

Now, go into the Start Menu, and into the Programs sub-menu. You should see an option for Administrative Tools. In there, select the option for Services. When the window appears, find the option for "Messenger". Right-click on it, and select Properties. When that window appears, change the "startup status" option to Disabled, and click on the "Stop" button.

Voila!

Also, if the ad-popup windows appear before you even open any programs, then as suggested, find and download Lavasoft's AdAware 6, and run a full system scan......that should remove any adware programs/files/etc from your machine.
