First thing you should do is update ad aware and scan,then download/install and update

Disable Messenger Service.
Click Start / Setings / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services
Scroll down and highlight "Messenger"
Right-click the highlighted line and choose "Properties".
Click the STOP button.
Select Disable or Manual in the Startup Type scroll bar
Click OK

Just to add to brads reply above. A nice little program to use to turn the Messager off is called Shoot the Messager. You can download it from here.
