Turn the service off. as ling as you are not running a network or connecting to a network you can safely turn it off. ctrl + alt + delete

Here ya go, seen this before.
Have you run Spybot? If not, you need to do that now, check for updates and run it. And please just confirm that you have gone to Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services and disabled the Messenger Service.
