Greetings Richard,
If you close down MSN Messenger (right-click its icon in the system tray and choose Exit),
then download and run this .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/disableupdate_all.reg
will disable the update reminders.
This won't do anything about the bottom banner ad however.
