Messaging Service
How do you get rid of the annoying 'Messaging Service' (with the blue/grey background) that pops up sometimes even when not connected to the internet.

What's your OS?
If it's XP go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. Scroll down to Messenger. Right click on it, select Properties then select disable.
This service was disabled by default by MS in XP SP2 as their way of minimizing a security vulnerability.
The question is if you're getting console messages you don't want, who's sending them

dwlpl,
If you are getting them when not connected to the Internet, it sounds like you have some Malware on your computer.
It would be a good idea to download Hijack This! and post the log file here. Do NOT make any repairs. (Hijack This! pulls up everything, including programs that are supposed to be in your computer.)
Take Care,
Richard

What I have done is re-install Windows XP and McAfee VirusScan8.
I have also run Adaware SE, Spybot, McAfee Stinger and Spywareblaster. The Spybot though keeps finding DSO EXPLOIT (*5) all in the Registry. The DSO EXPLOIT will not go away no matter how many times I try and 'Fix the Problem'.
Anyway here is the log:
