It says that it needs to confirm your registry to make sure your xp/vista copy is legal. Did this happen to anyone else?

Why would it happen to everyone? Is your copy legal? If it is then enter the code and be on your way.

i did and knew it just messed up my whole computer.

lolvirus, I bet your key will be posted on the internet now, please wait for your computer to explode.

that would explain the endless amounts of zlob trojans on the xp comp.
What has happened so far:
-Internet Connection Bottlnecked
-USB and Card Drives Disabled
-Random staticky noises coming from the surround system
-Blocking off the entire control panel
-Disk Drives Disabled
-Websites like:
-Symantec
-AVG
-Microsoft
are disabled entirely
wireless network signal depressing only 10% of Yesterday's connection.

That sounds like conficker

shit! :x

OMGGG CONFICKER IS THE WORST

You should use system restore.

^ tried that....
apparently it disables system restore.

Just reformat your computer.

safe mode, THEN system restore.

It doesn't actually sound like conficker. It's primary method of distribution (USB) is gone.

Sounds like reformatting is the way to go. Whatever you have on that hard drive is gone.

^@ EMBERFLY:
yea that should work.. thats what i did.. just restart your computer and press F10 when it shows the first screen when its booting..

Assuming the BIOS is the same.

Ya. This is what I did, too, and it worked.

Nope I have never experienced anything like that
I have the vista

Confirm registry or registration? If it reads registry... do not confirm it. You might have some sort of trojan

Making it sound like a disease.

i know right.

my bios is f*cked up now

note: she said did any OTHER window people get this.
If she was implying everyone then she would have said did every window people get this.

What? You've got a BIOS level virus?

That's pretty shitty.
