RE: Non-responsive printers

Hi anybody,
I like to ask whether this registrycleaner,com, or the registry
cleanerxp.com is a safe site. It kept popping on the monitor. I am using
windows2000. the pop up read as follows:
QUOTE

" MESSAGE FROM LOCAL SYSTEM TO USER ON .....(DATE)

CRITICAL ERROR MESSAGE- REGISTRY DAMAGED AND CORRUPTED

tO FIX THE PROBLEM:
OPEN INTERNET EXPLORER AND TYPE: WWW.REGISTRYCLEANERXP.COM
ONCE YOU LOAD THE WEB PAGE, CLOSE THIS MESSAGE WINDOW.

aFTER YOU INSTALL THE CLEANER PROGRAM YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYMORE REMINDERS
OR POP UPS LIKE THIS

VISIT WWW.REGISTRY CLEANER.COM IMMEDIATELY

UNQUOTE

Never respond the these type of message! This a method of re-
directing your Internet to a dangerous web site and infest your system
with spyware (if you are lucky) or "ransomware" (more likely this!)

NO, it's a scam. You need to install a firewall.
