[QUOTE="Skate, post: 315580, member: 31493"] update re: ungenuine windows. The PC was asking me to validate, activate windows (didn't see why as it was bought genuine) but the error was there nonetheless. A popup was asking me to validate it, but I was afraid to click it thinking it could also be a problem. However, when I went into "system" on the PC, it did state I needed to activate it. I followed the required links and hooray - it is now fixed. I do think the system was "pirated" - probably with the trojan (if that's what this thing had...), but regardless - gramma will be elated! Will complete requested cleanup and will make gramma read above information. I will read too... we check on her computer every few months for issues.... [/QUOTE]
