RE: What do you do about spam and all?
As long as you give out your Windows Live IDs in public, there is not much you can do about people adding you. As you have noticed, creating new Windows Live IDs is no solution at all.

The only thing you can do is not adding those people and blocking them. And removing and blocking the already existing ones. And not giving out your Windows Live ID in public, but only to people who you know and trust.

Also make sure that you have enabled the option:
"Only people on my allow list can see my status and send me messages" in your Messenger options (Tools > Options > Privacy tab).
