Here's some more info on "Messenger Service".

I would suggest that you download AdAware (free) from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/.
It detects and safely deletes tracking cookies, dataminers, dialers and other objects
that can be the source of popups. Make sure you use "Webupdate" before scanning
to ensure you have the latest ref file since they are updated frequently (sometimes
more than once a day).

I use a freeware browser called Avant browser which virtually removes all pop ups.
Another one is called Slimbrower. Both are freeware...

Yes, even I noticed a great reduction in spam, ADs after I switched to Avant from
IE. Read this article.
