Getting 2 pop up’s that wont go away. Firstly message from www.spw5f.com telling
me that there is a problem in my registry and to go to their website to purchase
software to get rid of errors. Hitting the exit the second message security alert
wont’s me to go to http;//www.winregfix32.com. Dong the same is a further request
to purchase pop up removal software.
Shortly after putting the popup message in the corner of the screen I can not send
email get a message on pop mail not working. I have formatted my hard drive and reinstalled
all my software only to be back at square 1. I use Zone Alarm when on the net plus
heaps of pop up blocking software yet the problem come back.
