That is diabolical, selling a program to do something so easy.

Right-click on 'my computer', go to 'manage'.

Go to 'services and applications'-->'services'.

Scroll down until you see 'messenger' - right click this and select 'properties'.

Click the button to stop the service, then set the startup state to 'disabled'.

Close all windows, no more popups.
