You will need to activate your copy of Windows 7. Once this is done this message will dissapear. If the activation fails then this means that you may be a victim of software piracy, contact the microsoft support center an Microsoft.com
you need to activate your product key or the license, if you have already done that it's much better to phone microsoft so they will activate it for you.
Firstly, the most important thing you can do is keep up-to-date virus protection-either a paid program like "Mcafee" or a free version, (which I'm not sold on but better than nothing)like AVG.....available here: http://free.avg.com/download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition
Ad/spyware blockers are important tohave as well.
How long ago did the problems start? a day or 2? You could first try system restore. "start", "all Programs", Accessories", "System tools", System Restore", "Restore My Computer to an Earlier time", and select a date before your troubles occurred...note that this WILL remove any PROGRAMS or UPDATES you have downloaded in the meantime, but NOT any files that you have created or docs you have edited, pictures added, etc. Hopefully "system restore" is on and hasn;t been disabled by whatever is causing your problem (which is often the case). If this works...great...go update your antivirus, etc. If Not, try booting in safe mode...."Restart", and hold "F8" as soon as the screen goes black for the reboot, select "safe mode" and try running a virus scan from this mode. You colud also try downloading (in regular mode) something like "spybot searcvh and destroy" to try and find your Problem> You can get it here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
It sounds like a virus. Go to malwarebytes.org and download MalwareBytes' Anti-Maware and scan with a quick scan. If the quick scan doesn't work, try a full scan. Then get avast! Anti Virus to prevent viruses (It's free!) See http://www.william234.co.nr/mpcs2.html for more details!
there is a possibility that the tool was uninstalled or a part of it was removed when you uninstalled a software on your computer. best way to get around this is through system restore. just select a restore point the day before you lost the toolbar for acer
Go to http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm and run the scan. If it finds a virus then try to remove it. If it cannnot remove a virus it finds then call Microsoft and they will help you remove the virus. You have to run a virus scanner and determine what virus you have first though.
