Default Delete INstan Messenger from Win 2000

PLease help. I am online with windows 2000 and I keep getting all
these popup messages. They are clearly spurious. How do I disable the
Instant Messenger feature?

Sorry if I have the wrong group but I am too busy deleting these
messages to do much searching.

Greetings,

To be fair, it's not entirely a Windows problem per se -- it's an exploit of a Windows
feature and has been considered dealt with as of XP SP2 (since the Messenger service is
disabled by default).

In Vista, the Messenger Service itself has been eliminated entirely.
