Default reg-patch.com

I just did a reinstall on on my computer since I had a virus. I was running my initial Norton Anti-Virus scan and this popped up saying to go to this website since I had registry problems. I did this since it came from Norton. I downloaded the software and it immediately found 19 registry errors. Then it asked for money.

Did I just mess my computer up more or am I ok?

How do I have these registry errors when I just wipped my hard drive clean?

Thanks in advance for any help.

might be a bad install
try the free version of microsoft's registry fixer see what it says.
re format if u like, and make sure u get sp2, updates, firewall,antivirus then extras
oh and did it tell you what part of your registry was corrupted?
run some free scans

It did not say my registry was corrupted.

Where do I find microsoft's registry fixer and how does it work?

This virus stuff is getting rediculous.

Thanks for your help.

I ran that panda scan and it came up with no problems.

Hopefully I am in the clear on this one.

Thanks.
