i’ve had the genuine version of windows, but my computer got a million viruses so i had to get it fixed, and when i got it back, everything had been taken off of it so i had to re-install windows (the same key as before). it worked, but after about a month, maybe two, it gave me this message saying my version of windows isnt genuine, well it is, cos i have the disc right here. but no. it keeps nagging me. and now it wont let me have any backgrounds, but instead replaces anything with a little message at the bottom of the screen saying this copy of windows isnt genuine.

any help? please???

Hey everyone…what you all are describing sounds like what happened to me.
I logged on to a wireless network that wasn’t legit I think and the next time I turned on my comp I got the windows is not genuine message. I think that someone got to my computer through the faulty wireless network.
The only thing I’m wondering now is what to do about it…
If anyone knows could you email me? vfa1986@gmail.com

Thanks!

@Huyen Giang - What software are you talking about? HijackThis IS free, and can be downloaded from a number of places. Windows itself, however, is NOT free and their WGA software will attempt to make you purchase a new valid key. There are plenty of fake virus and spyware scanners out there that will tell you that they've detected items on your computer and then attempt to make you purchase their software in order to remove these 'infections' when the "scanner" itself really is a virus. There are also many legit free online scanners available that will only scan your computer and tell you where the virus source files are, but will make you pay to remove them. The Windows Live OneCare scanner is one of the only online scanners I've found that will actually detect and remove infections for free. You can also use McAfee's ,SuperDAT command line scanner for free as well, although if you don't know how to work a command prompt then you won't be able to use it. Fortunately, I've written a how-to for it here.

I thought this software is free of charge, but after installed and scaned, they asked me to pay by visa before I can delete the infected files.. hmm !

For anyone using Vista with this problem of “This version of Windows is not genuine,” and nagscreens saying “Activate Windows now,” check out this tutorial. It’s a Vista Forum, with all kinds of solutions for Vista.

I had the nagscreen for a week and all I did was change the product key, restarted my computer and voila, good as new!
