In his brilliant moves, Microsoft has released an update that checks your OS serial number against a list of known serials. And because of that if your serial matches the one of them then it puts a sneaky little message on the bottom right of your computer screen, and a system tray icon appears tells you to buy a genuine copy of windows.
It will also pop a dialog that say's:
"This copy of Windows is not Genuine and you have not yet resolved this issue. This computer is no longer eligible to receive select security upgrades from Microsoft."
"To protect your copy of Windows, you must click Get Genuine now.”"
Every time or every minute that balloon will pop up that saying “You may be a victim of software counterfeiting.” Below that it will say “This copy of Windows is not genuine. Click this balloon to resolve now.”
If you do not know about about and if its the first you see that i think you will be annoying in a hurry, and I imagining of it that most people gets in a hurry to buy a legit key just get stop that pop up.
I'm not good enough about fixing some problem of some windows, but fixing of this pop up is easy enough.
What to do to Fix it:
1. Reboot to safe mode.
2. Open HijackThis and scroll down to the section that says "020 – Winlogon Nofity: Wgalogon" select that, click fix checked.
3. Reboot after this. No longer should you get the popups and that nagger as you log in should not show up either.
OPTION: You can also go and delete the actual executable that nags you. The full path to it should be (for most installs) C:\Windows\System32\wgatray.exe.
Load the control panel and open up Programs and Features, then click on View installed updates
Scroll down to the Microsoft Windows section, and locate KB971033. If it is installed, select it, right-click and then click on Uninstall. Reboot your system.If you've used any previous Windows 7 Activation cracks, then download and run WAT Fix. [If you've not previously loaded an activator you can skip this step] This will restore Windows 7′s activation files and settings to their original defaults that way Windows Loader has a standard setting/file set to work from (instead of trying to crack files that have been already modified in unknown ways by other activation cracks). WAT Fix will scan the system and restore any modified files, after this is completed it’ll reboot the system.

Download and run Windows Loader. When it’s complete, reboot your system to make sure that it no longer pops up the non-genuine nag window and that your desktop doesn't have the nag text at the bottom-right hand corner. Run Windows Update and hide KB971033 so that it doesn't attempt to re-install itself in the future. Close all the apps that you have open, run the program, and then click “Apply”.
One virus scanner incorrectly identifies it as some kind of virus because of the compression that it uses, but I've tested it on 3 different machines (including my main Windows 7 Ultimate test machine) and it is clean.
