Upon clean Install of Windows xp, recieving corrupted registry message.

[ljmora501]

Hi all,

I just performed a clean install of windows xp, and immediately after the install I recieved multiple error messages. The error messages go something like this: "Your registry may be corrupted with spyware", "Corrupted windows registry". Obviously there is an issue somewhere within the registry, but can someone explain why and how it is possible to recieve these types of error messages after a clean install? Also, if someone knows of a solution to fix this problem, please get back to me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Did this problem start after you went online with the 'new' computer?

If so, this may help explain what might have happened:

Try using System Restore to set your system back to a point before you started having trouble.
