This will in fact disable windows messenger, but not microsoft messenger. They are in fact 2 seperate programs.

The first answer will disable messenger. If you're logged in to messenger I'm assuming you still want to use it. Download the latest version as it has bug fixes for these types of messages.

open messenger>tools>options>privacy and block "All Other Users" besides the people in your contact list.
