why a icon shown you may be a victim of software counterfeiting

the message saying that you may be a victim of software counterfeating is because your version of windows didnot pass the test for genuine version of the microsoft and it is indirectly saying that your version of windows is not genuine. The only way to get rid of that message is to make the version of windows genuine.
For this first of all you should contact your dealer since with a laptop you are supposed to get genuine version of windows.
or
if you have baught a linux pre installed system and you have formatted it yourself then it is best recomented that you should buy a key for the version of the windows
or
try these steps to make windows genuine
1 . start > run > " regedit" (without the quotes of course)

2 . Go to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WindowsNT\ CurrentVersion\WPAEvents\OOBETimer
…and doubleclick on it.
Then change some of the value data to ANYTHING ELSE…delete some, add some letters, ..just change it! now close out regedit.

3 . Go to start > run > "%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a" (again, don't type the quotes)

Was you copy a TRIAL copy the was install in your computer at the time of purchase? And as far as the desktop wallpaper, was it a picture that you worked with from something like Pulisher in the Office Pro Suite...I am thinking if the office program is stopped (end of the trial period) that other things may also stop working that were made using the programs contained therein. AH! but we have one for you. Download and Install OpenOffice, it is a total suite of programs that look like, work like, and are totally conpatible with MS Office. For FREE...I have used this program and it is totally wonderful, and did I mention for free. If you can use that office you can use OpenOffice, it is not a trial, it will not stop working for you...anyway try it...over 50,000,000 copies in use in the US with 139,000,000 hits on their site to date...here is the link: http://download.openoffice.org/
