This Copy of Windows 7 is not Genuine?? You're kidding??!!
I left my laptop on sleep, and came back to it, to be greeted by this message in the bottom right of my desktop.. Attachment 276663 ....it almost blew me out of my chair.
OK. So I then did a check for Updates and found one from Windows Defender. Went ahead and successfully downloaded and installed it - my thinking being that if my system was NOT genuine, then the Update would have been denied and rejected? Correct??
I then went ahead and completed a system validation via Microsoft links, and when I got back to the Desktop, the message above was gone.
I then did a few more checks to verify that all was OK and genuine ... [Identifying detail have been removed]

Has anyone else been 'hit' by this strange message to the desktop..
For now though, everything seems to be OK with the laptop, and there are no other indicators that something is wrong. Go figure...
But I would like to find out why the message appeared in the first instance...
