Greetings,
To stop this behavior just click the Tools menu (if the menu is hidden, press Alt-T), then
Options, then go to the General category or Preferences tab depending on version of
Messenger, then uncheck the 'Automatically...' or similar option which should be near the top
of the options dialog. After this just click OK, then right-click on the Messenger icon in
the notification area and choose Exit.
It shouldn't bother you again.
