Re: Error

Make sure a firewall is turned on. And you need to disable or remove the
Messenger service.

[[If advertisements are opening on your computer in a window titled
Messenger Service, it may indicate that your system is not secure. You
should enable the Internet Connection Firewall and disable the Messenger
Service in Windows XP to help protect your computer from unwanted spam and
other potential threats.

The Messenger Service was originally designed for use by system
administrators to notify Windows users about their networks. However, some
advertisers have started using this service to send information via the
Internet, and these messages could be used maliciously to distribute a
virus.]]

Sofia <Sofia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I have a COMPAQ PC but i'am receiving a error messages.

The messages that I'm receiving is that I need to open a pages like
www.regdoc32.com or www.msreg.com, I think that the problem is with the
regedit file but I'm not sure.

I don't know why I'm receiving this error, I mean, what was the cause?

I need to know how I can solve this problem because I reinstall OS but the
messages is still appearing in the machine

I think this messages is appearing every time that I open a Internet
session, but I'm not sure.
