Messenger Service

Whilst my own computer is u/s, I'm using my son's old one, which hasn't seen the light of day in over a year.

Having spent some time in setting it up again, despite the usual anti-eveything on the Internet side of things that I have installed (AVG, Zone Alarm, Spybot, Ad Aware), I keep on getting messages poping up from "Messenger Service", telling me I have spyware on my disk, and trying to lead me to their contact sites, which, of course, I don't. (I have installed Google Toolbar, which normally blocks pop-ups, but it doesn't stop these pop-ups, since it requires IE 5.5 or higher, which I don't have to hand.)

But how can I get rid of these pesky Messenger Service pop-ups??

Thanks,

Tosh
