How can I turn this Messenger service off. It's more annoying that pop up
ads. I'll remove every component and registry key I have to to stop this.
They are constantly poping up.

The fact that you are getting these messenger service adds is doing you
a favor. It's telling you you're system is open to the internet.
Install a firewall instead of turning off the messenger service.

Start | Run | services.msc | Enter

find messenger, set to disabled.

Or, better, install SP2 +all critical updates and enable XP Firewall.

I'm not sure how to install SP2. I have SP1.
