Its not MSN messenger that is sending these to you. Looks like some type of Phishing or Spyware/PopUp advertising. The website wants you to pay for a patch that you don't need.

Steps to take

1) update your virus defiantions and run a scan

2) Download Adaware and Spybot, update the definations and run a scan.

Adaware

Spybot

These days you really need both as they both detect different things.

Let me know if you require further assistance.
