I have recently inherited a computer with a few problems.

I am receiving messages from

1 System to Alert saying that I have critical errors in registry.

2 Security monitor to windows user saying

Buffer overrun in message serviceallows remote code execution, virus infection and unexpected computer shutdowns affected software.

Affected software is

Windows NT work station
Windows NT server 4.0
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows 98
Windows server 2003

What do I do?

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance
