    Registry cleaner popups from Messenger service (RESOLVED)

    Hi, I used you guys for a problem a little while back. You guys helped me out greatly, but now I'm back. I just redownloaded windows to cleanup some problems (system working slow, to get rid of old programs not needed) and everything works great except I keep getting these annoying popups. there is a copy of one directly underneath this message, but they all say a different website. There is also a copy of the Hijack this file directly underneath that. Any help would be appreciated.

    Ps. I downloaded Itunes and McAfee antivirus software with the new install, don't think any problems would come from downloading McAfee but maybe Itunes??

    If you disable the Messenger Service , you will not be able to display the fix tool offer on your PC:


    Please download Shoot The Messenger

    Download and run the small (22 kbyte) "ShootTheMessenger.exe" utility. It will display the current status of your system's Messenger Service. The button near the bottom of its window will allow you to set the service to whichever state — running or disabled — that you desire.

    If, for any reason, you should ever choose to re-enable the Windows Messenger Service, simply re-run ShootTheMessenger to do so.



    SELECT HijackThis FIX ITEMS: Scan with HijackThis and place a check next to these items:
