    Kinda of ironic, don’t you think? Spyware popping up ads to removing itself.

    Anyways give Microsoft AntiSpyware a shot.

    is it a popup in an internet explorer window or does it say messenger service on it?

    if internet explorer then do spyware scans with a spyware scanner program.

    if it's messenger service ones then go to start>run>services.msc>find messenger and double click>set startup type to disabled, and click the stop button then apply settings.

    Try Adaware and X-Cleaner. Adaware is free but X-Cleaner isn't, although there is a free version you can use that catches a lot of stuff - I've had it spot a couple of things Spybot, Adaware and the MS one all missed.
