If you downloaded a virus, then the problem resides with the program you downloaded. The best way to remove a virus is to use an interface like Bart PE (an unofficial varient of Windows PE, only availible for Microsoft OEM Partners). You can also re-install windows, if possible.
If you mistakenly downloaded Windows, then you should use the Chnage Product Key Tool by Microsoft, at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=50346&clcid=0x409. Then, use the product key found on the side, back, or top of your computer.- Proposed as answer by motherboardlove Wednesday, June 17, 2009 11:57 AM

Hello Jiselledimples Vialva
Thank you for visiting us. We understand the frustration you are currently experiencing. Please run the MGA Diagnostic Tool and provide us with the results. The steps are below:
Step 1 is to run the utility at this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012, then click the Windows tab, click the "Copy" button, then paste the report into a response in this thread.
Step 2 is to look on the computer or with the materials you received with the computer or with your retail purchase of Windows to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). If you have one, tell us about the COA. Tell us:
1. What edition/version of Windows XP is currently installed or is it another version of Windows?
· Home
· Media Center
· Professional
2. Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?
3. Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?
4. Please provide the customer scenario you are experiencing.
5. DO NOT post the Product Key.
Not sure what to look for? See this page for reference: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx
Thank you,
Stephen
