i did some stuff
and now its working but only one problem
on every program i run before it starts i get this error:

Hello Scorp,

To be safe, I would recommend to format and do a clean reinstall. Be sure to scan anything with a antivirus program before installing it on the fresh Vista installation just in case it was infected.

format every one can do
but i dont want to format
so is there a way ti fix it without format?

You have been offered advice by an expert.
I wouldn't disregard it lightly.

Try restoring your computer to a point, even before you installed that fake antivirus..

i didnt install it =_=
it install it self
and some why when i open
system restore it says
i dont have restore point
but i do
its seems that format is the best thing for now
hmm i got an idea if i reinstall vista
and addd to it that registry backup (from ccleaner)
will alll the programs work (most of them on other hard drives, i got 3)
