The other day I started getting a message that says I may have an Illegal
copy of Windows on my screen. I have a Dell Computer that came with Windows
XP. What should I do to get rid of the message. Thank you

The computer was purchased directly from Dell. It is about 3 years
old.

Have you replaced anything major like a hard drive?
Has anyone ever repaired this PC?

Also, I understand that an incorrect date/time on your system clock can
cause a false positive.

It seems there have been a lot of false positives. I guess you could
ignore the nags or even uninstall the process that produces them.
Or if you want to do it by the book, see
