Counterfeit Message

[Guest]

XP Pro edition installed 2 years ago. When booting up get the following
microsoft message" You maybe a victim of software counterfeiting. The copy of
windows is not genuine and is not eligible to receive the full range of
upgrades and product support" The software is genuine and registered. Ran
system restore to no avail, and virus scan picks up no virus. Any thoughts?

Looks like you have a pirated copy of XP...
at any rate...you can turn that notification off.
