I get this message: "You can be a victim of software counterfeiting" (referring to Microsoft Windows). I've had this computer for years and my system has been valadated before with no problems. Why am I this message after all these years. Also, I've moved several times, so I don't know where my package with the disks or tape. What should I do to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.
What you get from the site if you do the Validation test?
Validation failed? These scenarios may help to explain why.
http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/FailureScenarios.aspx?displaylang=enYou can run the Windows Product Activation Wizard by clicking Start, then run and type in "oobe/msoobe / a" (less the quotes). It will tell you if it is enabled or not.

I was a victim of counterfeiting my Microsoft windows product key online.
I bought my Microsoft Office product key when I bought my computer laptop o0n 13/04/2012 where I get the invoice of the shop.
Recently for some reason any I walked into a web site to validate my Microsoft activation once again, so I entered my product key. The PC is slowed down and finally I got a message that the product key that I bought with my laptop for windows 7 Edition home premium 2010. I know that I entered the right ket of the product that I copied my office documents were I wrote it down. Then I noticed my desktop background changes color and a message to the lower left corner. Windows 7 build 7601 this copy of windows is not genuine.
What is going on.! I've only used a copy of windows for this product key. It was forged or diversion?
More
I was looking at computer control panel system properties in the area of Activation of Windows, the status and the product ID is 'Not available' over there is no button to change the product key shown on the left of the data.
-Yet, I used my product from 13/04/2012 with the beginning of the product key with * Product Key reference deleted for privacy *
I can get my copy of windows reactive as authentic.
Finally people
I solved this horrible validation process by typing the right product key on the label on the base of my laptop. Fortunately it was not worn out so I could prove that I had indeed bought the MS product when I bought the PC. The help you get from MS is not large. When you the machine becomes a probability suspect maybe after a few minor repairs, renaming Pc for example status and product iD get removed from the Properties window of computer making it even more difficult for you to prove your innocence, your purchase is valid. So if you use the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool MGADiag.exe he goes out with the bad PK put end entirely and fake product identification number. The call both GetKey https://office2010.getmicrosoftkey.com/?wa=wsignin1.0 service isn't so hot either to give you your past PK unless you never invited to created an account before entering the identification number of the purchase card.
If you lose your product key is not a pleasant experience trying to prove that you have a genuine Microsoft purchase.
When you get the answer made me know. I'm having the same problem.

Excessive number of counterfeit Sites are getting blocked
I started to receive Yahoo statements often arise in a new tab in Firefox. Also several times when I click a link on a website, the tab that opens is blocked as a counterfeit site. If I come back and click on the link even, finally I get the expected real link. According to Tools/Options/content, I turned on the popups blocker. It all started when I've "updated Firefox" at the request of a popup (stupid, I know). My question is how to get back to normal? I reinstalled Firefox from Mozilla site, but it does not solve my problem. This all started about 4 days ago and may have been connected with a Yahoo site hack. The 'Help' tab, says I'm under Firefox 26.0.
You updated Firefox because you clicked a link on a web page that tells you to put up-to-date?
You should never respond to such a request because it will infect you with malware.
Don't update Firefox via help > on or by downloading Firefox from the official Mozilla servers.Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
All of these programs have free versions.Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

Virus MS "Victim of counterfeiting" message
I bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop about 18 months ago nine, a store of grand in Munich, I live in England.
It has a hologram MS Certificate of Authenticity on the back. It happens suddenly with messages saying: I'm a 'victim of counterfeiting"and Windows XP is not genuine.
I can't use the recovery CD ROM, because who will cancel patches I've been downloading from the Toshiba site to get the equipment working properly (DVD management, pilot of the screen and the power were the questions).How to stop this annoying Virus MS?
Hi Alex,
Normally, the operating system comes with a new laptop computer has an OEM license, which means you do not need to register the product with Microsoft. However, it is possible that the provided operating system is always false, so I recommend you to check that your system on the site of Microsoft validation on http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/default.mspx?displaylang=en
Interestingly, the OEM license allows the reseller to provide Windows XP in the national language of the country in which the laptop is sold, so that your system must be installed in German. If you have an English language installation, then it is quite possible that it is indeed counterfeit, and the Microsoft Genuine Advantage software will identify this situation.
Good luck

N/AYou use a license key in Volme - and this key usage has been limited to one region, probably because the owner of the key or MS has noticed that the key was abused, but the owner has too many devices in this area to be able to easily change the key or the operating system on all, so they opted for the more expensive option.
If you are a member of this organization, contact your system administrator - if not, then your installation is a counterfeit.
It seems that your machine came with a version of Windows installed - for which version and edition of Windows is allowed, according to the COA sticker on the case?
