I used to have the same problem with MSN (which is the same thing I believe). I could not find a way to turn it off and only use it when I wanted. In the end I decied to uninstall it. Go to Control Panel and 'Add/Remove Programs'.
It is so irritating that I no longer bother with it. If anyone knows a way to control its behaviour I'd like to know too.

If this is the Windows Messenger service (as opposed to MSN messenger) popping up with spam messages, a little program called Shoot the Messenger is available at http://www.grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm which will disable it.
If it's MSN messenger, go to the menu and clcik on Tools then Options. Under the General section there are some checkboxes. Uncheck the ones to automatically run messenger when Windows starts and to allow automatic sign in when connected to the net. After that MSN messenger won't load and sign you in whenever you go on the machine
