I have multiple PCs. One of them is used by children and it's terribly infected with malware. Currently, I can't get Windows completely loaded and access anything on the Desktop, which is causing headaches to clean the PC. I keep getting the following message: "Copy of Windows must be activated before you can log on. Do you want to activate windows?".
I believe malware is causing this. I know there are keyloggers installed with the Trojans, so I'm a bit weary about typing in my Windows activation code. In fact, I'm starting to wonder if the request for my activation code is simply the malicious software requesting it and not a legit windows request.
Am I being paranoid?
Is there any risk of typing in my Windows activation code?
