I Inherited a computer that had a constant error message on it from something called Repair Registry Pro. A relative of mine, deleted everything on my computer and reinstalled all updated stuff. I was hoping the error message would be gone as well but it keeps coming back. Now, when it comes back, I can't getr rid of it until I shut down the computer and reboot. Obviously I don't want to have to be doing that all the time. It's annoying. The error message says:
STOP!
SCAN CRITICAL SYSTEM ERRORS
To fix errors please do the following:
1. download registry repair from www.regpro32.com
2. install registry repair
3. run registry repair
4. reboot computer
FAILURE TO ACT NOW MAY LEAD TO DATA LOSS AND CORRUPTION!
What the hell is this and how do I make it go away???????? Please Help!!

Yes you do.
Get
Spybot S&D
Lavasoft Adaware
Microsoft Antispyware
Microsoft Defender
Get them from the microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/downloads/default.mspx
There is some other info on that site as well.
The first link has a scanner for malicious software

It definitely sounds like spyware to me. Most likely, there really are no errors, but it is the spyware's attempt to fool you into thinking there are so that you will download and install their product at www.regpro32.com. I recommend downloading and installing an anti-spyware program such as Spyware Search & Destroy or Ad-aware. Those are the two I use.
