Has anybody else heard of this? I recently upgraded to XP and during the process my Virus protection was turned off. Before i got it in place something slipped through. Now I keep getting these pop ups that say… Message service
Bla bla bla go to this website and it will clean these pop ups . When you go its trying to sell a program for a registry cleaner
How do I block this and remove these adds.
It looks like a scam to get me to give out my info ect. Help .
There website is registrycleanerxp.com

Scan with your anti virus/spyware and delete?
Try most up-to-date GarbageClean online scanner

ya dont get that. it’s most likely adware or something. just find a good adware program thats free or something to get rid of it
That’s adware. Why should you trust and spend money on a company that installs software on your machine without even asking your permission?
In addition to an anti-virus, I suggest you download Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D (they’re free), install them, update them and run them. If either one, or your anti-virus, doesn’t seem to be able to get rid of everything it reports finding, try running it again, this time in Safe Mode. Safe Mode often prevents the malware from running and protecting itself.
Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.
To get into Safe Mode:
1.Log out and reboot your machine.
2.When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.
3.Select Safe Mode from the resulting menu.
4.The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different. You won’t be able to see the Internet, for instance. Log in as Administrator. Administrator often has no password.
5.When you’re finished, log out and reboot back into normal mode.
Update and run them all regularly.
Good luck.
report it as a virus or scam to windows contact and yahoo then turn on the free popup killer from yahoo
Yes, but never click on those pop-ups do not click on them call the retailer or the store because to me it actually sounds like if the computer was fakely registered….so just call them….Good Luck! and go to this website and download everything its really good.

Its spyware.
Remove it with a spyware remover, Ive seen it before, and definatly dont buy it.
