Messenger Service
Message from SYSTEM to ALERT on 8//19/2005 5:17:46 PM.
Microsoft Windows has encountered an Internal Error your windows registry is corrupted. We recommend a complete system scan.

I've seen some crazy stuff but I don't trust this at all. I also get the same message telling me to go somewhere else. Seems like a scam. Has anyone seen this and does anyone know how to fix it? I have virus killers and spybot but nothing knocks it out.

You are welcome and here is another way.
To turn off the messenger service in XP:
1. Click on the Start button and open the control panel. 2. Open the Performance and Maintenance control panel and go to Administrative Tools. 3. Now double-click on Services, then scroll to Messenger. 4. Double-click Messenger and click Stop to stop the service. 5. Change the startup type to Disable.
