There's nothing wrong with your registry. These are annoying popups you receive if your are running messenger.

Make sure your firewall is enabled. Then open control panel, administrative tools. Select Services, scroll till you find Messenger. Open it, stop the service, then change startup to Disabled. Follow up with a thorough virus and spyware scan with reputable tools/software, ESPECIALLY if you visited any sites mentioned in the popups. Then install Service Pack 2 and all critical updates from Windows Update.
