Chat message received in Skype informing that my Windows registry needs update.

Last week a part of the conversation jumped upward in my Skype calls claiming that my Windows registry has been corrupted and needs to update. When you click on the URL - there is an offer to purchase a Windows hotfix for 19.95. Question is - this for real - I would have expected that any update of Windows would come through Microsoft directly via the update feature...

Please notify.

This contempt.

It's a SCAM.

Microsoft sells you NOT Windows "patches" on Skype!

The Net is full of scams.

See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner
