I haven't seen the screenshot of yours yet.. Maybe I misunderstood which banner ..

That logo at windows activation tab in my computer, properties.

Lets try to get this into proportion. The OP doesn't like the MS Logo on the Activation part of the Properties Page. He says quote: that thing with ask for genuine might seem like my windows isn't original, which is stupid
The wording on the Logo reads "Ask for Genuine MS Software" This is a normal Microsoft Advert to promote its software and try to discourage the use of pirated software. It no way suggests that the user has anything other that legal software. This, in my view is a perfectly legitimate way to promote MS software. All software companies use this type of advertising, it is a normal business practice. MS is a company out there to make a profit, that's what they do.
The logo is part of the Windows program and would require recoding to delete it. That would be contravening the licence that we all accept before installing Windows 7.
It has been said before on this thread but I would suggest again that if you don't like the logo, it's easy enough to avoid looking at it and anyway how often do you need to open Properties. I would guess that there are millions of Windows 7 users in the world who have never looked at that page and probably never will.
Lets all agree in the spirit of the Forum move on to more important things!
There I've had my say and that for me is the end of it! Sorry but you are stuck with the Logo, like it or not!

Well said mitchell

. Just ignore the logo. It means no harm
