Hi - like Joe in January, I am being plagued by regupdate messages. Unlike Joe I'm a pretty basic computer user. I went to the majorgeek site but ran away again when confronted by all the different options. If you can be bothered can you give me simple instructions on how to disable the extremely irritating messenger service - I know about downloads in theory but have never actually done one. Thank you in advance.
