Bruce,

As I look through these postings, I see that you are a very rude person
and the last thing you seem to want to do is to help somebody.

I was trying to help. If the person had legitimate registry problems,
there are programs out there that can help. There are alot that are just
as you say "snake oil".

However, I suggested my program because I wrote it because of all those
"snake oil programs". My software only looks for references to files on
your drive that aren't there anymore. That's it. It isn't like alot of
the others that try to find as many entries as it can by dangerously
selected problems that don't really exist due to lack of knowledge of the
registry and the OS.

My intention was to help, not make a sale from this person, that's why I
offered it for free. Don't believe me?

Here is a coupon code for 100 copies of Registry Smoker to get it free.

B10109C6

The coupon expires tonight, or when 100 are reached, whichever comes
first.

Default 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.

It would be the download he

After you download it, install the trial.

You will see the button to buy it when you start it.

You were attempting to purchase XP Smoker instead of Registry Smoker from
the wrong site.

Default Registry Problems...

We seem to be getting a little off base here. Did we ever help this poor
guy with his registry problem? Isn't that why we posted here in the first
place.

How is the current situation with the registry problem this person had?

It would be the download he

After you download it, install the trial.

You will see the button to buy it when you start it.

You were attempting to purchase XP Smoker instead of Registry Smoker
from the wrong site.

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.

Bruce,

As I look through these postings, I see that you are a very rude
person and the last thing you seem to want to do is to help
somebody.

I was trying to help. If the person had legitimate registry
problems, there are programs out there that can help. There are
alot that are just as you say "snake oil".

However, I suggested my program because I wrote it because of all
those "snake oil programs". My software only looks for references
to files on your drive that aren't there anymore. That's it. It
isn't like alot of the others that try to find as many entries as
it can by dangerously selected problems that don't really exist
due to lack of knowledge of the registry and the OS.

My intention was to help, not make a sale from this person, that's
why I offered it for free. Don't believe me?

Here is a coupon code for 100 copies of Registry Smoker to get it
free.

B10109C6

The coupon expires tonight, or when 100 are reached, whichever
comes first.

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.

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.

I realize that you're trying to help, and that such an intent is
commendable, but please don't post potentially harmful advice.

Merely disabling the messenger service, as Gibson's utility does,
is a dangerous "head in the sand" approach to computer security that
leaves the PC vulnerable to threats such as the W32.Blaster,
W32.Welchia, and W32,Sasser worms.

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.

Perhaps you should read what real computer security specialists
have to say about Steve Gibson's "security" expertise. You can start he

All very interesting. 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?

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.
