    I get these advertisements that just pop up even when im not surfing the net. They appear in a window that says messenger in the top left corner.

    They also say To "IP address" at the top so they just send them using my ip address.

    At times they are annoying especially if im playing a game and one pops up. It renders my mouse useless and flickers through the game screen.

    Is there anyway to block these ads?:(

    First of all do a Virus scan and a Trojan scan

    yea, use msconfig to disable the Messenger Service. If you are on a network you will get these too. They are very, very irritating. if you have a firewall, they usually block this kinda thing too.
