While I'm using XP and online, all these spam messages come up in a message box that is titled Messenger Service. How can I turn this off???

Click on start>run> and paste services.msc into the run box and click ok. Scroll down the list and double click on Messenger. Click the stop button and then set the service to disabled.
Hope this helps, Sandman
