	Do you use Firefox as default browser? try setting IE as default and see what happens...:)

You can remove the little WGA notification program I think, you can certainly opt to NOT install it when Windows Update prompts you.

	Bascically get a box come up when turn the computer on and it says could be a victin of counterfeiting goods? And it also doesn't let me sign on MSN now because of it? I got a feeling my gay fucking brother has opened some stupid email like a thick twat and got a virus? I don't know what it is but computer was fine earlier :mad: it's also gone really slow! Any help please appreciated!! Thanks! Also theres a little star in the icon box in the bottom right and it says "you may be a victin of software counterfeiting: i click vaildation failure details and it gives me this: Validation Not Completed: Invalid Product Key[0x80080202] Why did it not validate? There are several reasons why a product key may not be valid. You chose to validate by the alternative (non-ActiveX) validation method which requires a download of an executable. The executable needs to run in native mode and it was run in a special compatibility mode for another operating system. The product key stored on your computer has been tampered with. If Windows came pre-installed on your computer, please see the steps you can take below. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! [Edited on 02-08-2006 by K2 GTi]
