That was going to be my answer, but since you are OK with piracy, I'll offer a suggestion.
I think Microsoft offered a removal tool for the Genuine Avantage validation check.
Thing is, you need to have a validated version of Windows to download it.
Neat little catch-22, don't ya think.
The only other way to prevent those pop-ups is to re-install Windows and don't activate the Auto-update option.

2.Go to My computer

4.Right click on Floppy Drive and Click on 'Create MS DOS Start up Disk'.
5.Click on Start then click on OK(1st Stage finished)
6.Click on Start-> Search
7. Type in 'wga' and wait till the search is finished

12.Your computer will automatically start in MS-DOS mode. (If it doesn't then you may need to change your boot prioprities settings from BIOS this link [] will explain on how to do this.
13.Now go to path where the previously un-deleted files are left. (By typing 'C:' to switch to any drive, and 'cd folder' followed by the name of the folder.

what you did wrong is got an automatic update. you inadvertantly tried to download service pack 2 which requires a systems scan and product verification. you need to go to start>help>system restore. set it back to before that update.

install a free linux system.
since that wouldn't be software piracy, you wouldn't have to worry about the not genuine screen.
