like messenger ...................
C:\windows\system32\services.msc

If you're lazy, you can just copy and paste this into your internet explorer window and Services will popup

When in services, go to messenger and right click. Go to properties, click the stop button, and in the startup type dropdown menu, click disabled.

This should stop those messages that popup blockers won't.
