Hi! I am first time in this forum and looking forward to TALKING with everyone!  

For a few day now I have few messages popping up from Messenger Service, which says :

"Message from Microsoft to inform you about virus detection on date and time. Critical System Error! The windows registry appeares to be infected. Please go to www...regfixes.com to SCAN and repair the system registry."

I did download the regfix software and rand it a few times already. Doesn't work. I am still getting those messages. What does it mean? Is it just a regular pop-up, or Windows is close to failing?

Thank you.
Looking forward to your reply.

You should try restore your system to the point before you are getting these messages, systems retore does not affect or change your personal data files.  System Restore automatically tracks changes to your computer at all times and at specific intervals by creating restore points before changes occur. Restore points are stored states of your computer.   You can also undo a restore.

Shut the Messenger service off immediately!!!
It's nothing but a honey pot for spammers, scammers and freeloaders.
To do this, enter services.msc in the Start>Run box and in the console that opens, scroll down to Messenger and double click it. SET the Startup Type to Disabled and the Service Status to Stop.
Exit the console.

Do not use System Restore; disable it and reboot.

As you've been running with a major VULNERABILITY and you have infected yourself with RegFix, carry out the procedures listed [highlight]in this post[/highlight] and post a Hijackthis logfile here when done.
If possible, zip the logfile and attach it rather than post it.What sources can we go to to verify that RegFix is a nasty thing.  I've looked at 5 pages of a Google search on RegFix and I'm not finding negative stuff; in fact, it all seems to be positive.  Mostly, I see mention of RegFix Mantra, a COMPREHENSIVE Registry Cleaner and Registry Fixing tool.
