I think I may have a virus?

Okay, so I was on the computer. I downloaded this program, and then it wouldn't work right because I needed a serial number. I figured this was illegal so i uninstalled the program and when it was done uninstalling [i think] this thing came up. It was a little box with a yellow triangle and it had two buttons. I clicked one button because I thought it meant that the uninstalltion was complete. The computer then restarted. I tried starting it up again and it starts then my old norton program [ to lazy to refresh it 2006], says it shut my computer down due to a hardware bug. I push okay, and it just gets to the windows loading screen loads all the way it finishes, then it says no signal and reboots. It restarts again and does the same thing. I tried using windows xp repair but for some reason none of the keyboards I have work on it now. Is this some kind of virus that disables my keyboard and computer too? Am i totally screwed? Or is there a way to fix my conundrum?
 
No it's impossible. Hardware component is obviously dead. Think that you should post it on Operating Systems.
I'm sorry but this just doesn't seem to be a virus, it's impossible to disable keyboards using a virus.
Since I'm not very good with hardware problems, I have nothing else to do than to suggest you try posting your case to Operating Systems. The best crew is there ready to help!
 
The thing is that the keyboard doesn't work on the system recovery disk... that itself says that it's not a virus (unless it's some sort of hardware attacking virus......) You see, the way your computer is set up is that there is a hard drive that a copy of Windows is installed on and that if you were to get a virus it would generally attack some windows system files on you hard drive, but it can't do anything to the CD.

You probably already have, but make sure your keyboard is plugged in ALL the way. :)
 
As far as I know there is no such thing as a Hardware Attacking Virus. There may be a Virus that disables the keyboard drivers but, I dont think so.
 
Its plugged in all the way. It has to be something. It seems impossible to fix this problem without the keyboard, I can't get it to work, and thats the only way to do a repair.
 
Being unable to get boot the computer in Safe mode nor the normal mode, I find it impossible to get it fixed this way. I know, again , I'm not totally skilled in fixing hardware, but this points out on that situation: hard disk or motherboard or I don't know what-died.
 
I dont know what the problem is. Try a full reinstall first unless you have different ram to try out.
 
Which point in the repair are you able to get up to? Are you able to boot into Safe Mode (tap F8 before Windows starts, assuming your keyboard allows this, and select Safe Mode from the list)?.
