    Hello,

    I'm really annoyed, after having the my computer infected with that nasty virus vundo. gen and having tied to update to xp sp3 for tighter security, ony to hear now that my product key is expired sounds crappy to me.

     

    I understand that i would have to phone, if i have to paid for this costly call that is not encouraging either considering that you havd to pay so much already for the licensed copy from a retailer.

     

    Is there no other way to get this thing activated and have my computer functioning properly again. I do not live in the states. these type of phone calls are no cheap.

     

    Thanks for all of you're help.
