Author Messenger service pop ups

Whenever I am connected to AOL I receive pop ups. But
the pop ups seem to be coming from my own computer and
not from aol or IE. It shows them as if they are a file,
and at the top it says "Messenger Service"

Is this a virus? If not what is it? And how can I stop
it?

Thanks SOOOOOOOOOO much

If you are using Windows XP, please enable the Internet Connection Firewall.
Otherwise, you can stop the Messenger service (for Windows NT or Windows
2000) Start -> Settings -> Admin Tools -> Services.

However, you are in the wrong newsgroup - try a Windows group applicable to
your OS.

Cheers
