If your software is not genuine, well cant be much of assistance. With
windows updates its quite possible thats why you are reciving that
message. But if your version of windows is genuine do you have any
antiviurs, that is working that you can use to scan your computer?

There is a new WGA update released today on Windows Update and you are
experiencing notifications from this update when the tool detects a
non-Legit OS.
