Thank you so much Gary. I have run my virus protection & scanned almost every day. It sounds like a scam to get people to buy another.

It came in an automatic download from Microsoft. If your op. sys. is a pirate copy it will tell you and continually notify you that "you may be the victim of counterfeiting" This will continue until some day your (copy) operating system just will not open. It is another way of forcing people to buy the real thing Talk to you soon, Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy Berndt" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2006 5:34 PM Subject: Re: [GEN-COMP-TIPS] software counterfeiting > Thank you so much Gary.
