Go to Start, then Run and type in services.msc Click Ok

Scroll to Messenger, select it, right click it and choose Properties.

Under startup choose "Disabled", then choose Stop.

When stopped, click Ok.

Thumbs up

You might want to get the google toolbar, I was using it before but now version 2.0 is out which comes with a popup blocker on it, damn useful.
