How do I remove you may be a victim of software counterfeiting message
My system shows 'You may be a victim of software counterfeiting' message on the Taskbar.What is it? How do I remove this message?
Answer :Well ,It means Microsoft has been detected that your copy of Windows is not a Genuine copy. Microsft use an update patch to detect whether your XP is genuine or not. When you turn on Automatic update from Control panel (It's automatically turn on when you install XP) this update automatically install to your PC. Then it start to validate your XP. If your XP is genuine then all Micorosoft support will be provided to your system and all update will install without showing any error.
If your Xp is a pirate copy , Microsoft will stop support your system and popup this message untill you purchase a new product key (from online or local retailer) or untill reinstall a genuine copy.
If your Xp copy is genuine, find your Product key on the CD case or on your PC (Can find printed lable fix on the PC) and click on the messsage then follow Windows Validate wizard to provide your key manually.
There are so many illegal ways to remove this message rather reinstalling windows but using these methods you will find so many side effects in your system. So we are not recommended to do this hacking or cracking.
If you want to use your pirate copy of XP further reinstall windows and turn off Automatic Updates (Start--> Control Panel--> Automatic Updates--> Check Turn off Automatic Updates). But you couldn't get any support from Microsoft anymore in future.Note: Not recommended by free pc clinic
