You may be victim of counterfieting with a legitimate copy of Windows 7
I've been running Windows 7 Home premium for probably 5 years. He came from a legitimate upgrade with a valid key disk. I had two times to reinstall because of the hardware failure and she passed activation every time. Two days ago I started to get the message of counterfeit software that doesn't look like something that came from Microsoft. If you click on "click here to solve the problem, it takes you to a page where it asks you to"enter your password". I have no doubt that it is against malware, but neither McAfee nor an anti-malware program I use has picked up anything.
Any suggestions as to get rid of it?
The best approach for a very infected PC is a 'Clean Install' you can never be 100% certain
that every last piece of infections have been removed.
That said, if you have time and want to see how you can go in eliminating the virus.
malware and bots then read on.
Start by downloading the free version of Malwarebytes, it will detect and remove most of the viruses.
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
Microsoft safety scanner
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded.
To restart a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions,
Download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
There are also Norton Power Eraser
http://security.Symantec.com/nbrt/NPE.asp?lcid=1033
Note: Because the Norton Power Eraser uses aggressive methods to detect these threats,
There is a risk that it can select some legitimate programs for removal.
You should use this tool very carefully, and only after you have exhausted other options.
For me on a PC friends who had more than 60 infections and there is no CD of restoration and the key code has been lost, the above "Malware Bytes", "AVG Free" software and Norton Norton Internet security did the trick.
Norton Security trial software:

Original title: Windws claims key is no longer valid.
Windows worked fine, but suddenly I started to get a notification sayingyou may be victim of software counterfeiting. This copy of windows is not genuine. "I've had my laptop for about four years, and as I understand it, the windows license is not supposed to run out for as long as my laptop is functional. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may cause this problem? Or am I actually supposed to renew my license windows after a few years?
I tried various other suggestions, but none have worked. For example, many places would you delete the ""wgatray.exe ' file in Task Manager, but the file does not exist. " I also tried to enter my product key, but instead, I get an error code: 0xc004f063. Please help me.
Try the following:
Click Start, right click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click on the link 'change product key '.
Enter the product key located on the COA sticker attached to the bottom of your laptop or in the battery compartment. Click next to activate via the Internet.

It could be a hoax. Search for malware.
Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

Where can I buy a legitimate copy of windows xp with a cd key that is not OEM?
I have a mac with bootcamp. He is not powerful enough to run Windows 7 and vista is a Devourer of resources. Is there a place to buy a legitimate copy of Windows XP with a valid CD key?
I have a mac with bootcamp. He is not powerful enough to run Windows 7 and vista is a Devourer of resources. Is there a place to buy a legitimate copy of Windows XP with a valid CD key?
Two points:
1. the resources required for Vista and Windows 7 are very similar. I wouldn't say one or the other a "resource eater."
2 Windows is sold is over (unless you can find a store that still has old stock). Essentially the only way to buy these days is to find a copy used on sale somewhere. But if you buy a used copy, be very careful to ensure that it is not hacked and avoid places like eBay.

Repair of a Windows 7 OEM installation with a personal copy of Windows 7
Hello. I have a Dell Inspiron n5050 notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). I ran a few tests anti-virus that has removed thousands of files, and now the laptop will not boot. The operating system goes to screen repair instead of a splash screen options. I ran all available service options, but neither solves the problem. Can I repair the installation clean copy of Windows 7 Pro (64 bit)?
If you try to use the Professional Windows 7 disc to make an upgrade of the repair, it will install Windows 7 professional.
Try to create an all in one disk or borrow a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit can do an upgrade of the repair.
Windows 7 AIO DVD - all the editions of Windows 7 on a DVD
Or use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium. Don't forget, this will restore your computer to its original state. If you back up your files and prepare reinstall the programs.
New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

You may be victim of software counterfeiting
I bought a Gateway computer brand new, comes with Windows 7 family and Norton Antivirus/Internet BJs Wholesale Club protection. I did the updates of Windows for a month without problem and then received this warning (the title of this thread) and when I followed links to fix, he learned from Windows that my software is not genuine. I signed up to Windows 7 and it's genuinne then!
My research came up with solutions for people who have some bootleg Windows 7 but I guess that Gateway has a legitimate software. When I contacted them, they said I should use the recovery disk and get a new start and blamed the last Windows Update. They advised to not to make the updates which seems ridiculous! I don't want to delete all my data after a month...
NAV has been running constantly and only found cookies trachking.
