So says my Windows 7 desktop PC. And unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a "Yes it ******* is!" option on the dialog. And before anyone says it, this is actually running a retail boxed (not OEM) copy I bought direct from MS. So what I want to do is find a Microsoft employee, punch him repeatedly whilst shoving the invoice in his face and demand a grovelling apology for calling me a software pirate. But failing that, I'd be happy to just fix it.
Does anyone know how this stuff works? Their website says something vague about malware or activation exploit software, but certainly MSE doesn't find anything. I tried entering the code again and reactivating, which says it works, but the message keeps coming back. Nothing's stopped working yet, but I think I now won't get updates, which obviously I want.
Does the message suggest somebody else has nicked the activation code I'm using?
