Its called Instant Messaging spam. If you don't want them use ME instead of XP.

Disable Windows Messenger. In XP:

Go to Start>Programs>Windows Messenger. A Windows Messenger window will pop up. Click the Tools tab, and select Options. Click the Preferences tab, and make sure the following two boxes are unchecked:

Run this program when Windows starts
Allow this program to run in the background

Click OK, then File>Close in the Windows Messenger window. If you have a little icon in the bottom right hand side of your screen that looks like two little people's heads right-click on it and select Close.

I know you didn't just recommend ME.
