Yeah I got a pop up that states my windows is not genuine. And it is, it just recently started saying that. Is this a virus? If so what can I do to stop it?

Most likely. If you can, get a screenshot of the window that pops up so we can identify it.

Until then, get yourself some Spybot Search & Destroy, unplug your internet connection and run it. There are lot of different things suggested throughout the forums for this sort of thing. This is just my particular favorite flavor of ice cream.

Well, its not a virus I found that out. Its some kind of error with installing the new service pack. I know my windows is genuine, and the MGAdig says its genuine as well. I'm not sure how to fix it. What is the best way to fix it? I will look around this forum a bit more.

I also already have SB S&D and Malwarebytes. And ASC 5.
