It's not spyware you're getting, that's why all the anti-spyware programs aren't helping. Windows has a built-in messenger thing that was supposed to be for legitimate network messages and stuff but I'd say there's a 99.9& chance you won't miss anything with that disabled except for those pop-ups.

If that doesn't work then post again and we'll sort it out
