OK...this is weird...I have been using my computer everyday for the past three years. Purchased from DELL with software on it... I come home today to find this weird message saying my Windows Software is not genuine and I can not make critical updates to it??? Please note that this is not a virus either because when i checked it on Microsoft.com, it told me that the software is not valid. How did this happen...what can I do? What the heck is this about?? Anyone?

Call Dell. Apparently a lot of Dell computers have been flagged as not "genuine". Hopefully, Dell will sue Microsoft and this spyware/malware will be discontinued.
