You may be a victim of software counterfeiting. this copy of wind

From few days onwards my computer is saying that "you may be a victim of software counterfeiting. this copy of windows did not pass genuine windows validation." but i am using my os from last 3 years. Till now i did not get such problem. If i go for validation it is asking to pay Rs.6000. But i am not that much affordable to pay such a huge amount. what should i do? could you please help me in solving my problem....

Have you made a hardware change recently? I added a memory module and my Dell PC (Windows came pre-installed) showed the same message. I had a fight with Microsoft service desk for the problem, finally they provided me with another serial number and activated (again) my Windows installation. And NO, you don't have to pay anything.

"You may be a victim

Welcome to FixYa!

If you're seeing notifications that the copy of Windows that is installed on your PC might not be genuine, or that you might be a victim of counterfeit software, it's likely that your copy of Windows was not properly activated or is otherwise not genuine. To fix this, click the notification and follow the steps to either repair Windows or-if you have inadvertently obtained counterfeit software-buy genuine Windows.

If you are using Windows XP, download and install the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification Application. It will scan your operating system and will remove the annoying message if it's a legitimate copy of windows.

Download here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905474

Keep me posted.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Its says , you may be a victim of software counterfeiting and this copy of windows did not pass genuine windows validatio.. and my dest top turn black.. pls help me to fix it.

Hi

If you install copy of WIndows XP operating system, do not update it or get update it through internet as it will detect that you are using counterfeiting or pirated software. Just reinstall again the operating system and this time do not get update from internet when installing. Ever it pop up to your computer, just ignore it. Otherwise, that will appear.

Good Luck.
