While my computer was in the shop they went ahead and installed a fresh copy of XP on the new drive. I'd forgotten what a pain that would be. Now I'm getting pop-up boxes every few minutes. There are two different ones..... 1. "download Registry Cleaner from www.msreg.com" 2. "Message from SECURITY to ALERT....STOP!...Download Registry Repair from www.regdoctorpro.com" Are these messages legit? On my previous XP installation I disabaled "Windows Messenger". Now I'll have to find where I did that. It's been a long time. What is it's purpose anyway? I installed ZoneAlarm and AVG anti-virus tonight. That's it for now. I've got to get to bed. Any other recommendations for protection that I should install? I had several spyware detectors and such installed before, but of course they're gone now. Since I'm starting 'fresh', I might as well find out what the latest recommendations are. :) Thanks, Diane ^v^ ^v^ ^v^~~~~ Paris's Reply ~~~~^v^ ^v^ ^v^ Diane Quick reply install Shoot the Messenger _http://www.grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm_ (http://www.grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm) Paris _http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a_ztechnicalcomputersupportforall/_ (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a_ztechnicalcomputersupportforall/) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] If you have any questions or problems with any aspect of this site, please feel free to contact me directly [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not post personal issues directly to the group.
