Registry Problems...
I'll give it a try, just tell me how to use the coupon code.

Registry Problems...
JS,
When you click on the button to purchase you will be taken to a screen to purchase. Choose Credit/Debit card (don't worry you won't need it, this coupon takes 100% off, the credit card screen will disappear when you enter the coupon code it the box and validate it.) Click Next, on the next screen enter the code, click the "Validate" button. The amount will show $0.00 and the credit card info section will disappear. Then just enter your personal info, email address and continue to register it. I would do it quickly. I have given out 100 licenses and 41 are used already. -- Danny Wareham, President WareSoft Software XP Smoker - The Hot Performance Booster for Windows XP http://www.xp-smoker.com Popular Software at Great Prices http://www.waresoftsoftware.com "JS" @ wrote in message ...

Registry Problems...
That sucks! I hate messenger spam. Make sure everyone who reads this disables the messenger service. Here is an easy freeware program for those that don't know how to do it: http://www.grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm Also, as of 10:15 P.M. Eastern time, all 100 free licenses have been used. I'm sorry for those who may not be able to now. -- Danny Wareham, President WareSoft Software XP Smoker - The Hot Performance Booster for Windows XP http://www.xp-smoker.com Popular Software at Great Prices http://www.waresoftsoftware.com "Daave" wrote in message ...

How is the current situation with the registry problem this person had? OP hasn't posted back. I still think his registry's fine and that he got the belief there was something wrong with his registry because of clicking on some Messenger Service spam he got. -- Dave |

The real problem is _not_ the messenger service pop-ups; they're actually providing a useful, if unintentional, service by acting as a security alert. The true problem is the unsecured computer, and your only advice, however well-intended, was to turn off the warnings. Was this truly helpful? Equivalent Scenario: You over-exert your shoulder at work or play, causing bursitis. After weeks of annoying and sometimes excruciating pain whenever you try to reach over your head, you go to a doctor and say, while demonstrating the motion, "Doc, it hurts when I do this." The doctor, being as helpful as you've been, replies, "Well, don't do that." The only true way to secure the PC, short of disconnecting it from the Internet, is to install and *properly* configure a firewall; just installing one and letting it's default settings handle things is no good. Unfortunately, this does require one to learn a little bit more about using a computer than used to be necessary. Gibson is a very poor source for computer security advice. Gibson has been fooling a lot of people for several years, now, so don't feel too bad about having believed him. He mixes just enough facts in with his hysteria and hyperbole to be plausible. Despicably, Gibson is assuming a presumably morally superior pose as a White Knight out to rescue the poor, defenseless computer user, all the while offering solutions that do no good whatsoever.

Thanks for posting. I wasn't aware of any of this. I do agree with your point that merely shutting off Messenger Service is not an adequate solution and that a properly configured firewall is. However, I didn't know that GRC had so many detractors! I often use their Shields Up page at https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 in order to make sure all my ports are in "Stealth mode." Can you recommend an alternative? -- Dave |

Why does MS have this article on their web site: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u.../stopspam.mspx Do you really trust Microsoft's official stance for security issues? ;-} Seriously, though, the second sentence of page does say "You should enable the Internet Connection Firewall..." *before* advising the disabling of the firewall. (And remember, the post I to which I replied made no mention of a firewall; it offered disabling the messenger service as a complete solution.) The problem is that turning off the Messenger Service, by itself, does *not* block the wide open TCP and UDP ports that the spammers used to deliver the spam to the Messenger Service for display. With the Messenger Service disabled, those spam deliveries are still continuing, but they're simply not being displayed. It's like pulling the battery out of a noisy smoke detector to silence it, rather than looking for and eliminating the source of the smoke that set it off. The danger of this "treat the symptoms" approach has been more than aptly demonstrated by the advent of the W32.Blaster.Worm, the W32.Welchia.Worm, the W32.Sasser. Worm, and their variants. These worms attack PCs via some of the very same open ports that the Messenger Service uses. Need I mention how many hundreds of thousands of PCs have been infected by these worms since August of 2003? To date, according to my records, I have personally responded to well over 1000 Usenet posts concerning Blaster/Welchia/Sasser infections since last then, and I can't possibly have seen and replied to every one that there's been posted in this period. Now, as for the Messenger Service itself, it generally doesn't hurt any thing to turn it off, although I never recommend doing so. Granted, the service is of little or no use to most home PC users (Although I've had uses it on my home LAN.), and turning off unnecessary services is part of any standard computer security protocol. However, I feel that the potential benefits of leaving the Messenger Service enabled out-weigh any as-yet-theoretical risks that it presents. It will indirectly let the computer user know that his/her firewall has failed by displaying the Messenger Service spam. Think of it as the canary that miners used to take down into the mine shafts with them. There are others, of course, who disagree with me on this point and advise turning off the service because it isn't needed; you'll have to make up your own mind here. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. -Bertrand Russell |
