Did I Get Hacked!?!?!

[brucelee21]

I've been having some issues with my comp recently...windows booting up with a blue screen, or some error. I just ignore it and press enter or something to load windows.
Last night however I had to re-active windows for some reason, I ended up having to call microsoft to activate (they have some crazy voice activated operators). After doing that my computer is running a little slow, although I haven't defragged in couple months, so I think its time for some system maitenance. What could I do? I've already read the pinned topic on tweaking etc.
Also sygate is sending me an upgrade your firewall pop up when windows boots. I have a cracked version 5.5 build 2525...is that the latest?

i don't know about your other problem........but im also using the same version of sygate as you
im wary about clicking the upgrade too..........i was using a cracked version of avg 7 and got a similar message and that was the end of avg 7 without paying for it...........any opinions gratefully received
regards Alex
