The Messenger Error is usually caused by the incorrect date and time setting.
Be particularly certain that it is set to the right month, the right day and the right time. Ensure that the AM or PM is set correctly as well as the year. Often the time will be correct but the year will not be. Likewise, it's common for the time to be correct but the AM/PM setting is out.

With the New Programs suddenly also showing makes me wonder if there had been a change in dates and time, which could maybe make the computer "think" all these new programs have just been installed.
Did you do a system restore lately? Though this shouldn't change the date and time settings...plus six months back is sure way, way back.
Just saw your "date" post, that would explain it then. Have you tried resetting date and time? It is also possible that your battery is failing.
