I have a icon in my tool bar that says " you may be a victim of software counterfeiting" .?

Question

and it appears each time in a dialoge box when I turn on and shut down the computer. how do I remove it? I checked the website that was related to it , but there was nothing there that helped me. Its such a pain. and the dialoge box says your copy of validation didnt pass the genuin one. what is it and how can I get my computer to be turned on automatically as it was without okaying dialoge boxes? please help me.

Answer 1

IF the box is a GENUINE Microsoft one it means the pc did not pass the windows genuine advantace software anaysis.

But it could be a spyware / malware program trying to trick you.

I'd reccomend these 2, run each in turn
ADAWARE fro www.lavasoftusa.com (Free personal version)
also SPYBOT S&D from www.spybot.org (Again free for home use)


Also worth having in toolbox is CCLEANER from www.ccleaner.com again a free download, and a good general windows tidyup utility.

Answer 2

Follow this instruction



Another alternative suggest that three files are installed Windows XP System Folder for WGA:
\WINDOWS\system32\WgaLogon.dll
\WINDOWS\system32\WgaTray.exe
\WINDOWS\system32\LegitCheckControl.dll
The wgatray.exe process makes the check for genuine windows software. If WgaLogon.dll is denied execution right, that WinLogon is unable to call it to check on Windows validity and display notification package at boot, and since WgaLogon is also responsible for running and maintaining WgaTray.exe, no more tray popups either.
To change and disable the execute bit of WgaLogon.dll:
1. Turn off Simple File Sharing in Tools -> Folder Options -> View tab.
2. Right click WgaLogon.dll in Windows Explorer and open the Security Tab.
3. Click Advanced button.
4. Uncheck the Inherit box at the bottom.
5. Click the Copy button.
6. Click OK.
7. Go through each listed user/group and remove the “Read & Execute” permission for WgaLogon.dll, leaving the “Read” permission as-is.
8. Click OK to apply the permission changes.
9. Close the file properties dialog.
10. Restart the computer.
11. Turn “Use simple file sharing” on (optional).
Optionally, steps suggested by PSNet which has the same effect - disabling WgaLogon.dll.

Answer 5

go to microsoft.com and search for validation tool.once there check your windows version to see if it is genuine,if not this is probably a message from microsoft telling you they know you are using pirated operating system, if your copy shows valid then this is probably a virus or spyware na da scan with anti-viru-spyware program is needed to locate and erradicate it.

Answer 6

This shows that the windows you have installed is not genuine. This is one of the updates installed from internet but this cannot be uninstalled.
