Why appears the message you have been a victim of software counterfeiting
Without going into debates about how they came to install an illegal copy on your PC, the important thing is to try to remove the message you have been a victim of software counterfeiting message that despite the inconvenience.

If you have Windows XP SP2 with automatic updating enabled, it is possible that the Windows Genuine Advantage program has detected that you have installed copy is illegal.

How to remove the message

Remove the message you have been a victim of software counterfeiting is very simple, you just have to click the right button on the star icon that is in the taskbar (near the clock) and click then on the option to change settings.


Then, an Explorer window that takes you to a page of Microsoft (for that you must be online), which will tell you that you have a copy of Windows is not genuine will open. Below there will be other options including Show messages notifications WGA. From appearing over those annoying messages should uncheck this option and then Save Settings.

Below, we accept that we agree that the copy is not genuine, so we gave the opportunity to receive updates.

Of course this alone to avoid that annoying boot message no longer appears, but we will not receive automatic updates. The only way to continue receiving update packages will be buying a license legally.
