Hello,
This AM when PC turned on I have a black background and a note in lower right hand corner stating You may be a victim of software conterfeiting. This copy of Windows Did Not Pass Genuine Windows Validation. A friend of mine installed this on my PC and I am sure it's not a Genuine copy. I cannot afford to buy the genuine version/license for $149 and use my PC for school and the internet daily. I don't even know, or where to find which version of Internet Explorer I am using!
#1-How can I get rid of this message and get my PC back

Here is the easiest way and it is certain to work:

Go through the following steps:

*Buy the license first.

*Download Key Update Tool, a utility provided by Microsoft to change the key of the Windows version installed.

*The download address is http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/3/7/83712767-395c-4327-8e87-38be7b0cf75f/KeyUpdateTool_enu.exe

*Double-click the utility will then check the system files.

*Enter the official key and click Next.

*Accept the license agreement and click Next.

*The key is legalized.

*Click Finish.

*Windows restarts.

Hi,

An other solution is to install and to use a free OS.
