You have got to be kidding.

Who do you think is going to send these low oil pressure notices on a stand
alone machine?

Here is some good advice and legitimate links...

[[If advertisements are opening on your computer in a window titled
Messenger Service, it may indicate that your system is not secure. You
should enable the Internet Connection Firewall and disable the Messenger
Service in Windows XP to help protect your computer from unwanted spam and
other potential threats.

The Messenger Service was originally designed for use by system
administrators to notify Windows users about their networks. However, some
advertisers have started using this service to send information via the
Internet, and these messages could be used maliciously to distribute a
virus.]]

[[These messages are also known as "messenger spam."]]
[[To resolve this issue, install or turn on a firewall that blocks inbound
NetBIOS and UDP broadcast traffic. ]]
[[To work around this issue, turn off the Messenger service.]]

Please do not listen to TEEN342's advice. Do not turn off your
messenger service. This an important part of your Windows OS to
notify you of problems or issues. It is like driving your car when
the Oil light is on and putting a piece of black electical tape over
it so you don't have to see it. Look into Sygate Personal Firewall
or ZoneAlarm. They have free downloads if you don't want to use the
built in Windows Firewall for SP2. Run Adware by Lavasoft and also
get SpyBot Search and Destroy if you do not have these free
downloads. This can help prevent some of the issues you are having.
Also Read the info from the links provided by the more exprienced
users that responded with good advice and legitimate links.

I recently installed XP Pro and have encountered some problems. #1
When I try to search for a file, Windows Installer pops up and
starts configuring Microsoft Office Disk 2. The other problem is I
keep getting these messages from updatenow.org and updatepatch.info
telling me I'm infected and I have to go to their website and
download this patch. When I go there they want $19.95 for the patch.
Any help is appreciated.........
