To test it out, go to Start->Run and type in command. This will get you the MS-DOS prompt.
Now type net send localhost Hello and press enter.
You'll get a message to yourself (localhost) saying hello. After stopping the service (as described) it won't happen!!!
It was stupid of MS to include this "feature" anyway.

Go to Outlook->
Tools->
Options->
Other
and there is a box labeled "Enable Instant Messaging in Outlook". Mine was checked. Unchecked it, no more problems!

I think you deserve a whole recipe for that suggestion because I see people having Microsoft Instant Messenger enabled in the systray all the time.
One point of clarification though. Windows contains two "messenger systems." The original recipe is related to the one that broadcasts pop-ups across a network; your recipe is related to the one that is associate with instant messaging.
Here is how one article explains it:
<ul id="quote">Pomerleau fell victim to advertisers who are increasingly taking advantage of a feature, Windows messenger service, built into PCs using the Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP operating systems. This includes all Windows PCs sold in the past two years.
The feature — not to be confused with instant messaging — allows network administrators to broadcast text alerts in pop-up boxes to groups of computer users linked in a corporate network. Microsoft intended the feature to facilitate tech staff communication, but e-mail often serves that function.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to craft your idea into a recipe as soon as possible.

Several people across the web have noticed that having messenger enabled also really slows down email viewing in outlook:
