This sounds like Messenger messages being spamed to you. Rather than buy the software that they are trying to sell you, try this;
1. Open the Start Menu and pick Settings->Control Panel 2. Double-click on Administrative Tools 3. Double-click on Services 4. Find the Messenger service in this list 5. Double-click on Messenger 6. Click on Stop 7. Change Start Up type to Manual 8. Click OK
