I created a backup image of a Windows XP Pro SP3 IBM Thinkpad to use as a point in time flashback using norton ghost and sysprep. After rebooting the machine and going through the mini setup, I put in the product key from the sticker on the back of
the machine. Previous to the sysprep the machine passed the validation check. Now I am redirected to the infamous Bing search engine page. On the validation check page I got all green checks after validating office and installing the activex
components.
Help?
EDIT -
After removing various spyware and adware I was able to validate. I wonder how many of the other reports of the infamous Bing search page are due to some malicious redirectors...
