I'm assuming that you are running Windows XP here...
Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services
In the list of services, there will be one called "Messenger" - double click to open it's properties - click on the button labelled "Stop" to stop the service, then select "Disabled" for the Startup Type.
That should stop those pesky messages from popping up all the time.
Next - you should download and run Ad-Aware and/or Spybot S&D (I'm sure you can Google for those on your own... lol!)

You have to scan yoour system for spyware. Go to windows download and download windows Defender scan also get Spybot S&D which is free and also run a virus scan to be on the safe side

Sounds to me like you are clicking on advertisements. I don't advise that, as it tends to lead to more adware and spyware problems in the long run. If you really want to click, then I suggest getting a few spyware programs, and running them every couple of days. Adaware, by LavasoftUSA is one of my favorites.

tdierikx is right, you just have to disable the messenger (messenger is NOT the msn).
