thats the Messenger service, (noting to do with Windows/MSN messenger) and it is typcally used in business use to cdommunicate between omputers, but in your case it is bein gused to send :spam:

You can disable by running servcies.msc and disbaling Messenger Service.

I thought it was SP2 that turned it off by default?

I don't think it was, because I used to get those, and Service Pack 1 prevented them from appearing, they're really annoying, all of my mates get them all the time...
