Try AVG and Avast free programs to find and fix the problem. In the future, these two will warn you if the malware is a download. If this does not work, try the highjackthis program. It will save a log that can be used by sites for free assistance to correct your problem.

When corsair came out with their case of 350 d Obsidian decided to move my PC parts to fit the Micro ATX case. I kept the same RAM, CPU, PSU, GPU and my hard drives that contain Windows 7 PRO. Everything worked up to what a few minutes in the PC running. in my toolbar next to the Center, volume and network icons, there was a picture of key (such as the physical keys) by saying that I need to activate windows. I use this drive for almost more than a year and all of a sudden with new parts that I need to activate windows? the only thing I changed was the motherboard!
I have Microsoft office installed and when I open Office Word the program asked for activation. but all this time, I had to click on a button and activate it with the internet.Why the operating system does not require a product key to 'turn on' when I was using the same operating system for centuries?I don't have my product key and I want to know if I can "activate" windows without one.I see this when I try to activate.Then it says this"the only thing I changed was the motherboard!
It is the motherboard which gives a computer it's identity. Essentially, the card mother IS the computer.
The original installation was probably pre-installed and turn to the original BIOS to check that he was still the same. Now when he checks, he finds a different BIOS.
Under the terms of the OEM, the operating system cannot be transferred to another computer, which is what you did...

I want to upgrade my computer to 10 Windows (I have windows 7 SP1) but it tells me that I need to activate my windows. I downloaded the legitcheck on the microsoft site and it ran and it says my Windows in real. I've never had a product key because my computer was purchased with Win7 (at Best Buy.) I don't know what to do.
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )Once downloaded, run the tool.Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message. -

I have a wireless internet connection for my laptop. I was connected to the internet, and it worked very well, so I had to unplug my router and all of a sudden I can't connect to the internet more. When I open the available networks, I hit connect on mine and he said: it does not work then I hit "diagnose the problem" and then, he says he can't. Also it is not even give me the option to set my password to connect to my network, but it does when I try to connect to any other.
I suggest to unplug all your network cables and unplug the adapter from your modem AND router. ONLY plug your modem back power adapter in. Wait until you get a steady green light on your router, which indicates that it is ready. Then, connect the ethernet cable from your modem to your router INTERNET port. Connect the ethernet cable from your computer to any other ETHERNET port on your router. Finally turn the monitor for your router.
If you do not do so in this order, the router can not connect properly to the internet because it doesn't have the correct IP address of your modem.
