    Hi, Messenger Service keeps appearing saying I have critical system errors and major errors with my registry. It tells me I have to buy something to fix it. I have attached the log, any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Upgrade to windows xp service pack 2 which shuts off the messenger service and also include many other fixes OR kill the messenger service like this:

    1. Go to control panel > administrative tools >services
    2. locate service called Messenger.
    3. double click Messenger.
    4. in Messenger Properties press the Stop button
    5. after the service stops, set the Startup Type to Disabled.
     

  3. to hide this advert.

    AdwareFilter / SpyAsassin are rogue programs which do not do what they claim.
    http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
    I recommend you uninstall them now.


    CaseyVideo is malware causign **** popups
    http://castlecops.com/s5579-caseyvideo.html
    Uninstall it with add/remove programs

    Please run hijackthis with all other windows closed chose scan only and select the following and choose fix
    O3 - Toolbar: AdwareFilter - {1028F737-81E7-452B-A860-E50CAD90A08C} -
    G:\Program Files\AdwareFilterToolBar\AdwareFilter.dll
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [CaseyVideo[1]] c:\windows\CaseyVideo[1].exe
    O4 - Global Startup: AdwareFilter Background Protection.lnk =G:\Program Files\AdwareFilter\AdwareFilter.exe

    Locate and delete the folder
    G:\Program Files\AdwareFilter
    and the file
    c:\windows\CaseyVideo[1].exe

    I also do not like entries for viewpoint.
    Although now accepted that the one you have is probably just the manager from Viewpoint used to check for updates to their software (Including AIM) since it is also used by various trojans and worms, and it has in the past been associated with a media manager which reports what media you are watching I still recommend uninstalling it with add/remove programs.
