Hey guys, this is Charlie, Yellowdog's brother in law. Dont know if any of you remember me. Anyway, I got an update from Windows the other day and it is telling me that I may be a victim of software counterfeiting. Then it says I need to go and resolve the issue. I'm kinda scared to go and try to resolve the issue. If anyone else has come across this, I would appreciate any help you could give. Thanks.

If you have a...um...less than legit copy of Windows (like...perhaps you may have downloaded it from an FTP or something), then you do NOT want to resolve this problem unless it says that it will shut down your OS (which would be bad). If you bought a legit copy, then yes, I would contact them and say that you bought one and it isn't your fault...
