Seems like what you downloaded may have had a bug or something.
Go to start > all programs > accessories > system tools > system restore
Pick a date before you downloaded messenger and all the updates.
What this will do is reset your computer to a time before it was running slow. Let it restore your system. Then restart your computer. Then go back and redownload messenger.

I would switch to the Mozilla Firefox browser, much safer, better and cooler.
Also, you may want to make sure to keep the Windows Task Manager open and look for any suspicious processes but only close a process if you really know what it is.

Download Ccleaner from the link below, install & run then restart.

Disable system restore and
Go to an online virus scan site such as

Re-enable system restore.
Ensure you have all the windows updates
Ensure you defrag the hard disk
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Defrag.
