PCD: Last year's version
I got a nasty virus last night on my PC. I was looking on reddit and all of a sudden the screen went black and this warning came up saying I needed to pay a fine to unlock my PC or I would go to jail for having illegal files on my PC. 
I ran hitman pro and super anti spyware but its still there. FML.
There is an alert that pops up when I reboot saying there is a missing file in my registry and it should be deleted. when I click to close the warning thats when the screen goes black and the warning comes up. When that warning is up I can't do anything with the PC except reboot it... can't even start task manager.
I tried to edit my registry and remove the missing file like the warning said but regedit won't let me modify it. Wondering if anyone in the know had an idea what to do???

You do know Austin is next week, right?
You crazy... Did you buy one already?
half-stanced & hardparked.
why does it look like your car has a gangsta lean?
its all good. I'll get it fixed.

I will probably take it to the dealer in cherry hill ... or maybe rttuning (i suspect they will be better about adjusting it correctly)
However, i just wanted to check if anyone here had a free day and wanted to take my $$$.
Yup. Final price was $420. Didn't bother getting a flywheel, 1lb savings for $300 is excessive.
