This just started flashing in the lower right hand corner about a month ago. It says the Windows I have is not genuine and I may be the victim of software counterfeting. What should I do?

A. Talk with the person who sold you the computer about not having genuine Windows.
B. Go and buy a genuine Windows OS
C. Switch to Linux (it's free)
D. Buy a new computer
These are your options. Choose wisely. Personally I would choose C.
G

You can remove the WGA announcement, but your Windows is bootlegged and you won't be able to download Winows updates. Removing WGA is intended for those who have a legitimate copy of Windows and are annoyed by the intrusion.
You need to buy a genuine copy of Windows and watch who you deal with in the future. Only greedy people get ripped off.

Right-click on the icon and select "Get Genuine" or buy a copy of windows yourself.
