To get rid of these pop-up messages, click start, right click on My
Computer, select manage from the context menu, Expand Services and
Applications by clicking on the +, click on services, scroll down until you
find "Messenger" and double click it. under startup type, select either
disable or manual. Click the stop button. Click apply. Ok out and close
Computer Management.

You should no longer see the pop-ups and this does no harm to any MS or 3rd
party applications.
