Well if you have an illegal copy, buy a legal copy, if you do have a legal copy, sometimes they do have false readings sometimes, they normally give you a number to call, if you do have a counterfeit copy, thare are ways of disabling that message, many people bought copies of Windows XP from the internet that were fake, me personally in this world would not want a computer that I could not get security updates for, I think you can pick up legit copies for $90 for xp home upgrade

you could not get carry of XP. Any website providing it really is a pirate and Microsoft received't help it. At a at the same time as Microsoft may have provided to get carry of something said as a Validation device. This comes with recurring updates and is used through MS to counter act pirates. If this device is downloaded then MS will fortunately provide your updates, once you've the unique disc then turn on the appliance through entering into the lengthy code key that they provide. This tells Microsoft that you're employing a valid reproduction and they're going to deliver an authorisation code on your computing gadget. this would end the messages. As a very last hotel call Microsoft and talk the count number with them. they are commonly very powerful.

If u don't have the genuine copy, DONOT DO WINDOWS UPDATE or download Windows Defender. It causes this problem, now u either have to buy a genuine copy or reinstall windows with a new key or reformat the computer.

as a former biggy in the cracker world
let me say this...
first you should have done your homework!
everyone knew before hand XP had a built in auto report and the web is just chuck full of how to disable it...
never good to just grab stuff when you dont know what your doing.
second is when you run cracked apz and OS
you should never try to update and never let them auto update!
when that happened Microsoft recorded your IP address!
in other words they know who you are....
Okay with that said lets talk
this isn't the old days anymore where to only way to get apz is to grab cracked copies...
welcome to the era of open source!
we have a number of free OS's as well as any apz you can thing of. I like open office much better than office XP and I dint need photo shop with gimp around.
Norton sucks anyway so it's no great loss.
if your really worried about it. dump the Cracked OS and buy a clean copy or go to open source and get a fully free legal one.
see list below for list of free stuff

since its not genuine...u wont get any updates from microsoft to correct ur problem..try installing some spywares and malicious software removal tools...
the best thing is buy a genuine copy of windows so no problem will be there...if u cant afford it download linux and install it...its free...and its strong against viruses..then u can install ur norton to it..thats the only way i see.

I have not seen or heard of this before. There is a possibility that it is adware -- wanting you to buy something that will "fix" the problem. Download an adware scanner (I like ad-aware from Lavasoft) and do a scan.

I think you have mistakenly bought a counterfeit windows OS, go back to where you bought the OS, and explain things to them if they can't help u out, then DEMAND a REFUND.
