Spam

Not only is it spam, but if you follow the link you will almost certainly pick up spyware, not get rid of it. Use Ad-Aware and Spybot, ignore any online offers to remove spyware etc.

Don't forget to disable the messenger service in control panel/admin tools/services as it sounds like it's a messenger message that's popping up..
