Greetings Dale,
Usually what you're describing is the advertisement (which is actually a web page frame).
This comes up from time-to-time -- the ad companies don't properly test their ads.
However, although it should appear, clicking No to the prompt should allow Messenger to run
normally. Are you seeing something different?
