Purchase the actual software. That's the morally correct thing to do.
You can turn off automatic updates and the like, and use a system restore as others have suggested. However, you will be susceptible to any vunerabilities / exploits found since the last successful update you had.

You probably won't have to uninstall it. Just buy a genuine copy of Windows XP (hint: right-click "My Computer" and select properties in order to see what version you are currently running, i.e. Home or Professional) and do a repair install of Windows, making sure you use a legit product code. That way you won't have to reinstall all of your programs and erase your hard drive.

I know it happens sometimes, you buy what you believe is an authentic copy of windows and it turns out not to be! Call 1-800-RULEGIT. That's the number for Microsoft authetication of Windows copies.

Reset your computer to a period when this was not coming up, then turn off the automatic updates. The problem will be solved.
