I know that if you go to Windows Update that it will try to validate your copy of windows and install a program to do that. If it detects that you have a pirated copy of Windows it will take you a place in Microsoft's web site where you can correct the problem. I don't know how you got the warning but beware of Malware or Spyware that may be causing the problem also.

I am victim of software counterfeiting
If you mean that you have purchased a counterfeit copy, you'll have to go out and buy a real one.
You could try to contact Microsoft. Many times they will sell you a real copy for less than street value if you turn in your counterfeit copy.

Don't do anything online. You're probably installed WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage).

Try to find REMOVE WGA on www.softpedia.com

That little hack tool should solve your problem.

Or simply reinstall your OS.

'you may be a victim of software counterfeiting
OK, This is a notice from Microsoft. The validation tool thinks your Version is a counterfeit. It is not a virus, but is still a headache no less. It will not go away, we can't shut it off. The only way to fix is to reload with a valid code or call Microsoft to report it. I hope this helps :)
