"This copy of windows is not genuine, please CLICK the balloon to reslove the
problem". This massage and software automatically download to my computer
when I did the windows update late week. How can I delete or remove that icon
and message from my computer? Note: The genuine doesn't appear on the ADD and
DELETE programes. Please help me..

I'd also like to know this. there's a product key on a sticker right ON my
PC, and i KNOW its not counterfeit, so it'd be great to get rid of these
annoyances. please dont just direct me to another forum for help!

Mine is very different, and totally legitimate. The sticker on the
bottom of my laptop is for the Operating System dvd that was supplied
with my laptop at the time of purchase. The Magic Jellybean Finder
returns the number of the factory image that Compaq used when they
installed the original software. The two numbers are different. My
wife has an identical machine as mine, purchased at the same time, and
her sticker is different than mine, but Magic Jellybean returns the
same number on hers as it does mine... both are the number of the
image used to install the software.
