http://www.updatepatch.info/I just rebooted my pc, and as soon as I re-started it back up, a little dialogue box telling me to go their because of the reasons listed on that page. It's weird, Its never happened before when I have re-booted my pc. Is this page just a virus/spywae, or is it for real?
Check the attached file, its telling me another error mesage.

Make sure you patch your XP to Service Pack 2 and enable the firewall
That'll stop that crap from getting through
Either that or make sure the firewall is enabled on your router if you have one

if you don't wanna waste time updating, do this:
control panel > admin tools > services > scroll down to messenger > right-click to properties > click stop > then select disable from the drop down menu above > click ok or whatever..
it will stop it instantly.

My friend had the exact same pop-up, it's not real, but it's spyware, or a virus, I don't know if it was that particular pop-up put his computer started to fuck up, and eventually had to restore it, as it went so slow.
Oh, can I reccomend this:
Spy Sweeperit should get rid of it, the trial is for 30days and you can scan and remove for free, also you can "download" the full version easily.

it's not spyware, there's no harm in it. I told him how to get rid of it, so therefor I'm closing this.
