Advertising? I'm going to assume you mean the pop-up advertising titled
"Messenger Service"? See below from Jonathan as for how to stop them

Do these "pop-ups" that are appearing have "Messenger Service" in their
titlebar? If so, what you're seeing is the Messenger service built-in to
Windows, *not* Windows Messenger (which are two different things) which
spammers are exploiting -- this is not Microsoft, nor can Microsoft control
them anymore then they can control spam to your e-mail inbox.

To get rid of these pop ups, you'll need to disable the "Messenger
Service", click Start, then Run, enter "services.msc"and click OK. Scroll
down to "Messenger", select it, right-click and then choose Properties.
Under startup type, choose 'Disabled' and then choose the 'Stop' button.
After the service is stopped, click OK. Nothing in Windows or any real
third-party applications should be effected by this.
