registry error messages.

[Guest]

i'm not sure if i have a hacker loose in my system or not but i am
constantly getting these error messages concerning the stability of my
registry. i have doenloaded several "regrepair".com type things & have had
them run scanchecks & cleanups as well as purchase a full version , one from
regrepair.com ($9.99) & have ran it. it tells me that there is nothing wrong
w/ the registry. messenger service feels that there is a problem. i have
gotten ten messages just while i am typing this request. in an hour there'll
be 100 more messages if i don't remove them as they appear. i also have an
adblocker(it came w/ the regrepair download), pop up blocker, a firewall & an
updated norton's antivirus program(2004w/ upgrade) currently installed &
enabled. what do i do? please feel sorry for me & help me through this
dilemma. tx.

Please provide details (copies) of any error reports from Event Viewer.

Make an exact note of the precise text of any error message. Minor
discrepancies can
make it harder to search for information about the error message.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer.
When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event
ID, Source
and Description are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click
for further information and you can copy using copy and paste.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the
error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two
pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your
message
(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the
info from the
Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make
sure this is
the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.
