I'm guessing you do not have SP2 installed. The problem is probably due to
the network messenger service, which spammers have began using to send their
junk to you.

1. Go to Start, Run, and type Services.msc

2. Scroll down to "Messenger", double click it and click Stop. Set the
startup type to Disabled.

That should put a stop to it. Also note that this does not have anything to
do with Windows Messenger so it won't affect that at all.
