No I am saying getting Pop-Ups with the following content.. "...telling me to go to
"regfixit.com" or
"patchupdate.com" because my registery has several fatal errors" is NOT malware and is not
generated from the POV of the PC. It is a NetBIOS Pop-Up scam and can be mitigated in
several ways NOT related to anti malware software.

1. Install WinXP SP2. This will enable the WinXP FireWall and disable the NT Messenger
Seervice
2. Install any FireWall application
3. Manually disable the NT Messenger Service
4. Install a Cable/DSL Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41

I saw NOTHING about a Browser home-page HiJack in Josh's post and subsequent replies.
