Hi i havent posted here in a long time, its always been a great help in the past but most of my problems ive been able to fix on my own now.
Well let met just say yesterday i was browsing sites with woman of questionable character when i ventured to far from my safe zone and its safe to say i sure got infected. Well not so bad i had delt with this crap before like pc security 2009 but this one was a bit different in that immediately after the fake scan started I closed it with task manager and was going to start running combofix when I got this bsod. I went to reboot today after letting it automatically do this loooong windows repairing cd bullshit before bed. just so there is no confusion i dont actually know where my windows vista repair cds are and even if i found the ones i made i dont want to do anything that will destroy the stuff on my c drive until i know 100 percent its lost ) So after coming back from a days work I turn it on glad that the "repair" is done and find my vista activation has been invalidated. error 0x80070426 . All accounts. So I restart and disable the restart after windows crash and the computer reboots (wouldnt have done that if i had known that) and I get this bsod before log in that says something about knowdll has failed. Am I screwed or can I still recover my data and fix this problem?
will i have to pull out all the custom hardware i installed on my computer to get vista to recognize me? i cant even click on the more options link on the activation page. how do they expect users to activate when i can't even access any sort of workable gui whatsoever
