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

  • 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?

    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.

    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.

    If the motherboard is changed, the original image of Windows 7 and it was running key code no longer works UNLESS the new motherboard is a HP authorized replacement. It doesn't seem that it is.

    As the new card mother is NOT an HP, you will need to download a Windows 7 ISO which corresponds to the edition of computers Windows 7 COA label and use the code key located on the COA sticker. Note that the key on the sticker code is to get the user of a problem where the hard drive and any chance to use the stuff of recovery of the manufacturer is no longer available.

    After you have downloaded and installed from Windows 7 ISO, you must then go to the motherboard manufacturer site for drivers. There is no point going on the HP site for the model illustrated on a sticker or a badge because he is not one of them more.

    There is a link with the ISO of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit...

    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 - U ISO: English x 64: X 17 - 58997.iso

    Note that you must be able to read the key on the COA sticker code. The download will not work without it.
