Seems that a lot of people have this error message all of a sudden. How do I
get rid of it? I have an HP system running XP.

it was posted on this site. Just google it and you will see plenty. Like

You should run a good malware scan (as suggested in the Google search
results).
Download, install, update and do a full scan with these three free
malware detection programs:
Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
AVG (AVG): http://free.avg.com/
Is there no http in front of your error?
If you see it every time XP starts, start by looking in your Startup
options in MSCONFIG for something resembling your error. It is
probably not there, but at least check.
The Google results vary a little, but seem to point to
hpprintspool.exe and there are several search results that yield what
appear to be workable solutions (all about the same) involving a
little registry editing and such.
Basically, you find and remove the hpprintspool.exe file (may be
hidden) and search the registry for hpprintspool.exe and delete all
references (since the file does not exist after deleting).
Here is ONE link with a reasonable step by step at the bottom (I hate
Yahoo! Answers), but it is the best procedure.

Thanks Jose. I already tried Malwarebytes and it didn't work which is why I
ended up here. I will try the other methods.
The error message box appears as this:
cannot find 'file:/// make sure the path or internet address is correct
Seems that a lot of people
have this error message
all of a sudden.
How do I
get rid of it?
I have an HP system running XP.

The Real Truth MVP said:Your issue is a prime example of why good registry cleaners are needed.
Don't listen to the others who say registry cleaners are "snake oil". To
fix your issue automatically, download CCleaner from here
http://www.ccleaner.com/ install it and when you run it select the
registry icon on the left to clean your registry. Let it fix all but
choose to backup when prompted. Your problem should then be fixed.
