just header boxes staing from system to administratior..
"warning i have 47 critical registry alerts, and need to fix my registry immidiatly..
log on to www.ms. xxxx for software to fix..
gonna do a spyware scan,... somthing was asking for access to system32 services when i logged on.. hmm
is it legit or is it a new varient of spam-popups...
