Default Messenger Service Pop-ups

I get these pop-up windows that are headed "Messenger
Service" even when I am not running a browser. I cannot
figure out where they are coming from. Most of them say -
"Go to www.endads.com to stop these pop-ups" and that
site offers a product to buy that will stop them. This
sounds like a scam to me - they cause the problem and
then you have to pay them to stop it. Does anyone know
how to eliminate these pop-ups? Thanks.

>it's a very simple fix actualy . it's an admin tool used
to send notes to all people connected to a network .. you
can stop it.

open control panel go to administrator tools open the
services scroll down to where you see "message service "
right click it and stop it then in properties disable it
from starting again . no more messages ...
