The 2nd one says:message from system alert stop. immediate attention required. Possible critical system errors to fix critical system errors do the following: and lists 4 things to do and says failure to act now may lead to data loss and corruption. I have Norton antivirus 2007, and norton antispyware, and GhostSurf 2006 and Tenebril AntiSpyware and Mechanic Registry, all of which have not picked up anything abnormal on my computer. How can I fix this problem? If you can please email me instruct. mystic_tiger74@yahoo.com

Dear,
1. go to RUN & type MSCONFIG & go to startup & desable the related Popups.
2. go Start, Prog.Files, Startup-delete related popups.
3. Restore the windows to previous date.
4. Use any thirdpart software to delete unused registree.
5. Edit the related Registree keys. (Becarefull-your windows might currupt) Registree knowledge is require to edit.

Hmmm... It's odd that the computer tells you that the "hard disk was not found" yet you are still able to get the custom boot options for Win98. Are you using a windows start up disk to do this? Most likely the hard drive or the IDE cable has gone bad. You should try a new ribbon cable. If that doesn't help, your best bet would be to bring it in to have it looked at. Most repair shops will have a good chance of recovering the data as long as the drive is not completely fried. Be prepared to spend at least $150 on the data recovery alone.

It looks to me like you have some "spyware" on your PC. If there is a scan you can run with the anti-spyware you have installed on your PC, I suggest you run that. Also, it's possible that the spyware you have installed on your PC won't be caught without running something like Symantec LiveUpdate - which is part of Norton. Try running that first, then running an anit-spyware scan using Norton and it should catch it.
Good luck!

Mcafee site advisor advisory says there is no malware on the abovementioned site.
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/msregistryclean.com
However in order to remove the pop ups, you need to
-delete all cookies from your Browsing history,
Tools > Internet options > (Browsing History) Delete > (Cookies) Delete
-and add the name of the site in your blocked sites list.
Click on Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Sites
Enter the name of the site and Click On Block button. Click OK to Exit.
alterntely you can run ccleaner in following two modes
-cleaner > Analyze > Run Cleaner
-Issues > Scan For Issues > Fix Selected Issues
If you do not have ccleaner, you can download from the link below

You've got spyware or some sort of adware on your machine. Windows would not throw those error messages.
