I replaced my hdd and got back on line three days ago, and I keep getting these pop-up messages with a header which reads "Messenger Service", and proceeds to leave messages like "STOP! CRITICAL ERROR DETECTED, and want me to go to their web site (www.win-fix.com).
I have Zone Alarm, and Shoot the messenger, and they still keep coming! How can I stop this annoying invasion?
P.S. Yes, I am aware that all of these are sales hype.
