Issue with opening MS on a virtual machine

So after doing some research, i found that around early July, they did this same thing to VMWare users. At that point, Parallels still worked, and stayed working all the way up to now (though i was not even playing at the time, so i ended up blissfully unaware). Apparently, there was a fix involving changing a couple of lines in the registry code corresponding with whatever the hackshield was checking to see if the machine is virtual. It follows that there might be something to do to fix this situation. Anyone out there who can help?
