I doubt its my service/broswer. I have a comcast cable modem and usually use IE6. But you don't have to have IE open to get these pop ups. Also on the title bar of the pop ups it says Windows Messenger. And I can't seem to find Windows Messenger to get rid of it. I think microsoft has something to do with this spyware.

Try spysweeper (download is possible for ex. At Www.gamehippo.com) I have had a gator(gain)/trickler 4010. Check your windows/temp if there isn't trickler4010.exe. Find all _restore, temp folders. I've had on C: _RESTORE REALLY INVISIBLE FOLDER TEMP AND THERE WAS THE MAIN GATOR with his 1GB . You have to type it. Deletion is only possible from dos(www.freedos.org) or by booting from CD.

I still can't get rid of this crap. I've been told that it is microsoft spyware. It says Messenger Service on the title bar of every pop up. No anti spyware software I've tried seems to find it. Anyone else have an idea on how to get rid of this crap?

windows messenager is a built in program to xp.its the same as msn messenger its not spyware.sounds to me like its trying to activate itself and also upgrade itself.
when xp first came out the meesenger did nt do a lot and there have been about 5 software upgrades to it.
if poss can you post a screen grab so we can see the box etc
you could also try control alt delte to see what processes you have running and turn it off from there
also try putting a firewall on like sygate it wont get rid of the problem but it will tell you what is trying to connect or leave your machine
