Victim of software counterfeiting

Hi.

The first advice is contacting Microsoft, replacing registration key, or reinstalling system.

Read about this and more solutions here: On screen warning saying I may be a victim...

When you get this message it means that the licence used to install windows is not genuine.

When this happen you are supposed to call Microsoft to find out why you get the message.

To temporarily get rid of the message you can do a system restore to a date before the message came for the first time.

Regards.

my copy of windows did not pass genuine windows validation I am getting information about you may be a victim of software counterfeiting and desktop background color appears black? help me out.

Just close this, it is not a Windows program. I opened it and got a virus.

To temporarily bypass the problem you can do a system restore to a date before you started having the problem.
If that does not work, boot to safe mode after downloading and installing HijackThis. Start Hijack this software (utility to modify registry values) and scroll down registry entries to the line that says “020 - Winlogon Nofity: Wgalogon - …” select it, and click fix checked.

If you think that your isystem is counterfeit and you had been victim of a scam you should contact the person that sold you the computer, and then contact Microsoft.
See Microsoft Help and Support.

software counterfeiting,did not pass genuine windows validation problem,

Hi.

It appears you have been a victim of software counterfeit, just like message says. Windows cannot find your product number in its valid product keys database.

There are three possibilities:

• you have purchased illegal Windows XP (you will have to contact Microsoft on resolving this issue),
  
• you entered blacklisted product key by mistake (search on Microsoft's site on information how to change your serial number),
• you intentionally installed pirated Windows XP (FixYa does not provide any feedback to pirates).

This means the Windows Validation Tool has checked your installed copy of Windows and has found it to be a non-genuine copy. This means the product key is non valid.

Where did you get the PC? If a "friend" installed Windows for you then he is using illegal product keys.

If you are sure your Windows is genuine, you need to telephone Microsoft and fight it out with them.

sir it is possible that you got a pirated or counterfeited copy, you should reformat your drive and buy a licensed windows program. and use that to install your programs to you computer. thank you and fix ya.
