There are two common approaches to this:
1. Disable the messenger service. The exact procedure varies with the
Windows version. I don't recommend this approach, because these messages
are still reaching your OS -- and if they can, so can a variety of quieter
but deadlier annoyances. So instead:
2. Install a software firewall, such as Zone Alarm (which is available in a
free version), which will actually block a variety of nasty stuff --
including Messenger Service pop-ups.
