Answer» I keep getting a pop up message (actually 2 similiar mssg.) - it says Messenger Service in the top corner and in the box it says:
Message from Local System to user on (date & time)
CRITICAL ERROR MESSAGE! Registry Damaged & Corrupted
To fix this proplem:
Open IE & type www.registrycleanerxp.com
Once you load the web page, close this message window
After you install the cleaner program you will not receive any more reminders or popups like this. Visit www. registrycleaner.com immediately!
The other message says (same messenger service box)
Message from Registry to Cleaner
Stop! Registry Cleaner Recommended
To download & scan computer for registry error:
1. Visit www. registrycleaner.com
2. Download & install Registry Cleaner
3. Scan computer for any possible errors
4. Register to complete scan corrections
5. Registry cleaner can improve system performance & stability issues.
I get this pop up constantly (like every minute or two). I have re-formatted my hard drive & reinstalled my operating system and a minute after windows starts up, I get the pop up again. If I unplug my ETHERNET cord from my modem (I have comcast high speed internet), I don't get the message. I even plugged in a different computer to my modem and BAM! it got the pop up too! I've tried anti-virus protection, firewall, spyware/adware scans nothing gets rid of it. Somebody please help me. I don't know what else to do!
Thank you in advance for any suggestions. These are what's known as rogue programs...they SAY your machine is infected and want you to spend your hard earned cash for a fix that literally does nothing...
DLoad and run a little script called "Shoot the Messenger"
This enables you to turn off the messenger service and this garbage will go away.what protections do you have as well?I found the Shoot the Messenger website and I tried to download it and I am unable to. The DOWNLOADING screen comes up, but the progress meter doesn't show anything and then after a while I get an error saying it was unable to download and it timed out. ?
As far as protection, I have McAfree Virus Scan, personal firewall and I have a pop up blocker running.
get avg anti-spyware spybot search and destroy adaware se personel free run the scans in safe mode w/ system restore off
and tell us how things are goingIf you have to run 'shoot the messenger' you're not running the latest service pack on whatever OS you use. What OS are you using? if your using xp you should be able to go to control panel -> administrative tools -> services
a list of services will open in a window then find Messenger right click on it select properties and then a box will open up in the drop down list startup type: in the middle of the box select disabled
click apply and these messages should go awayQuote from: srksrk on April 23, 2007, 11:00:38 PM I found the Shoot the Messenger website and I tried to download it and I am unable to.
