ZoneAlarm

What I am curious about is has anyone else had pop-up "System Warning"
registry windows that are fake that try to get you to get a registry check
utility from a "MS" website? Am I correct that MS would never have a pop-up
window that told you to paste a web address into your browser?? I am guessing
that the paste to browser instruction is designed to bypass the firewall
outbound protection?? Thanks
