ot: messenger service crap (spam)...how to stop?

i keep getting these messenger service deliveries (spam) on my computer. they do not occur when i am online. but typically overnight or when i am off the computer for extended periods. i have a cable modem but was told it was only "active" when i was on email or internet. when i come back to my computer, the screensaver is in the background and this window is open telling me who to call to lose weight or make money at home, etc.
i have turned off the messenger service, or so i thought, but i keep getting these things. any way to stop them from coming? some setting on my computer?
i'd hate to have to disconnect every night to prevent. any thoughts?
thanks.
