I'd say to install it and activate it like normal, but don't bother trying to register it. If it won't activate normally because the CD key has been used too many times, simply call the number that they give you in the activation dialog box and give them the number on the screen. When they ask why you are activating again, tell them you formatted because of virus/spyware issues or whatever. If they ask if it's on a different machine, just tell them you swapped network cards or something. Tell them it has not been installed on any other machines. They will give you a 54 digit code to type in and everything will work just fine after that. And if you hurry, the foreign dude will even tell you merry Christmas before hanging up [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (in my experience anyway...just activated today)
