Computer problems please help!

I have a sony lap top with windows xp and today I installed bit defender with the crack. After I installed it and re booted my laptop was very slow and froze a lot. I thought it must be bitdefender, so I uninstalled it and re booted. It booted up very slow again and bitdefender still booted up! It obviously didn't uninstall all of it so I went to the program files and tried to delete the folder with bitdefender but it froze. I manualy shut down the computer and now when I start it up, it constantly reboots. What do I have to do to get this back up and running? I don't want to lose all my programs on there. Thanks in advance

Hey Hacker,Try turning puter off,wait a minute,then turn on and hold down f8 key while it boots up,u will here a bunch of beeps,then let go,then hopefully it will load in safe mode.
If it does,then go to system restore and back up at least to your last good restore point.
Hope this helps.

so, right click on my computer select properties
then\
system restore tab, make sure it says monitoring for each drive you want to save setings for.
It will not give you your files back but it will save your ass on the settings.
Also make a note, anytime you install craks you are taking a risk on getting trojans, rootkits, virus ect, ect,
make sure firewall is always set to not allow the program to call home and scan before even unziping it.
adware, spyware, malware is rampant, sucks for some.....job security for others :) ;0

Only works on Toby Keith, fubar! Must be a problem with your drivers! It may be you need to update the "scratch and sniff" driver or your restore point was off by several years?
