PC Repair

I am having major problems with my PC. Scans indicate hundreds of errors at
a severe level that need immediate repair. My system is crashing
continuously. Can anyone recommend a good repair site? I've researched so
many and I can't tell which is the best for the price. Some I have looked at
are:
Errornuker.com
Pctools.com/registry-mechanic
HelpWithMypc.net
1ClickPcFix.com
FixComputerErrors.com
RegistryFix.Com
Any and all opinions are greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

What "scans" are indicating "hundreds of errors at a severe level"? And what
is the nature of these so-called errors?

If your system is crashing, are you seeing a blue colored screen? (It may
just flash by for a fraction of a second.)

Several of the web sites you have listed below are well-known scams. Don't
fall for them.

Something to try before posting again: Remove all viruses and spyware from
your computer. Let us know if you are not completely clear on how to do
this. (It's not usually easy to do.)

Lisa;

If you are getting pop-ups (and it sounds like you are) then you need to
turn off messenger in Administrative tools/services. You really don't have
all the errors it says. This is not MS Messenger or MSN Messenger but a tool
that spammers use under Windows XP. If you don't know how to turn it off
just ask here and someone can help you.
Is this a new system or a new install of XP? I just reinstalled XP and
forgot about the messenger thing and was freaking out with all the warning
till I remembered and turned the thing off and all is well.
