Windows 7


Question Posted Sunday February 28 2010, 2:51 pm

I bought a laptop that came with Windows Vista. I had my friend install the new Windows 7. I know it's counterfeit, but now my laptop is telling me that my Windows 7 is not genuine (which I know) but how do I get rid of the windows that open that tell me that it's not genuine. It has never done this until today and it's really ticking me off. Thanks.

You have a windows update to remove if you want to be rid of it. I don't know how you would do that unless you maybe restored back to an earlier time? Not sure that removes updates. If anyone knows, please post. I'd first try the add/remove
feature under the control panel. I've heard it is removable if its accidentally downloaded.

Microsoft Update to avoid..... (KB-971033)

It goes into depth checking all of your software to make sure none of it is pirated and also will create a nag screen every 90 days at 20 minute intervals telling you that it is checking your system for validation, and make a log of where you have been surfing on the internet (geared toward making sure you get the right kinds of advertising to go along with whatever you were looking at on the internet)......

Personally I don't feel Microsoft or anyone else has any business keeping track of anything I do.
