Hello! Yesterday when I turned on my computer and when it entered windows, I got the message stating that my Windows is illegal. This shouldn’t be true as I bought this PC in an authorized reseller shop. If this however is true, how come that I didn’t get this message so far?

Hi there! Most likely your reseller sold you a pirated version of XP with the computer. The reason that the message didn’t appear before is a fact that it was not until some time ago when this security patch was included in windows update. So it detects unlicensed Windows and reminds you of being a thief.
