What makes you think it is counterfeit software? This usually won't cause too much of a problem as far as performance goes though. Have you installed any new software or hardware on your computer lately? If so try un-installing it, re-boot your computer & see if it makes any difference. If it is a new piece of hardware try updating the drivers that may make a difference. A defrag of the computer can also make a difference at times..
