I believe a trojan caused me to get a BSoD and restarted my computer and after that I get "c0000218 Registry File Failure: Registry can't load hive (file) \%systemroot%\system32\config\SECURITY or log or alternate. It is corrupt absent or unwritable." Then, when I do a windows repair start up, it goes for about 10 minutes and restarts. Then, it will just happen again. I have tried a system restore but it cannot restore because it says the C:/ is corrupted. Help, please!

So here is a little update:
The Recovery option with the Installation Disc did not work because it is essentially the same as the start-up repair. "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically."
I tried to use Knoppix in order to recover some of the data but I burned a disc of that and it doesn't work. Today I am going to go buy some DVDs to re-burn that and try some other things.
As for the fix on the MSKB, I havn't seen anything, so if someone could point that to me I would really appreciate that.
