Windows XP - genuine software # guest account

[Hans]

Hi,

One of our laptops has a strange problem: it's fully genuine (for example:
this is confirmed before downloading IE 7 beta 3) but when i logoff from
local admin and logon as guest, i get the message that i'm a victim of
counterfeit and that i'm not using genuine software...

Has anyone experienced this before?

Please locate the file "Legitcheckcontrol.dll" in your c:\windows\system32 directory. Then right-click and go to the Security tab.
Can you ensure all users have the READ permission allowed?

Why are you bothering to log on as Guest? the Microsoft baseline Security
Advisor logs the Guest account as a security risk - turn it off!

Hi Carey,

When i'm logged in as a guest i can read the properties of this dll.

As there's no problem as long as the user does a login as a local admin: no
warnings then. But when switched from local admin to guest, it starts
complaining, even when back logged in as admin. But tests of genuinity are
passed without problems. Hopefully, this answer will help.

Regards, Hans.
