Strange.

I was playing CS and all of the sudden, this pop up comes up and says freepics to 'my ip address'. And some other stuff. And there was only one option, 'ok'. Oh, and the title of the popup window is 'Messenger'. Could it be that someone on the network playing CS uploaded a virus/trojan to me?

It's more likely spyware, but you should get The Cleaner from moosoft.com and do a scan - and then get Ad-Aware from www.lavasoft.nu and scan with that too.
