Hello there, when I boot up Windows it opens up the product registration box. This isn't the Microsoft one, its some hacky virus kind. I can tell because of the font and what not used. It comes up before anything is able to load at all, and if I try to bypass it in anyway it shuts down the machine.

Ive scanned through the system in the command shell, deleted a bunch of hoaky things and it still happens. Anyone had this problem?

Thanks.
