registryupdate.com Ripoff Do not buy from these people Internet
Warning to all buyers. Do not buy products from the following website http://www.registryupdate.com/. This company makes a practice of torturing people by sending messages every 30 seconds thru Windows XP Messenger Service. The messages contain information telling people that errors have been found in their registry that could lead to system failure. The messages all have different website names such as www.pc-reg.com http://www.registryupdate.com/ just to name a few. These messages are only designed to intimidate and bully the end user into buying a product that does not even work. Also owners of this organization are being investigated on charges of distribution of child pornography. Please stay away from these people. Also if you are one of their many victims who have been tortured by endless pop ups you can disable your Windows XP messenger service by going to Start+Settings+Control Panel+Administrative tools+Services+Right click on messenger and select stop. You will have to do this every time you turn on or reboot your computer

Hi Mike. Many various bad people will use this option if it's turned on. Instead of clicking on stop as you said in your report, people should click on 'disable'. That will totally shut the service down and you don't have to do this every time your computer is rebooted.
If the rare occasion would occur you would actually need this service, then you can go in, turn it on to use it, then again disable it once you are done.
