WOAH, I beg to differ with you on this issue. Please read my reply in the
WGA Latest Info post to see what havoc it has caused and is continuing to
ause on my pc. I have a genuinee copy and it has been validated...the
problems I am edperienced are nothign less than spyare. I am unable to use
my pc with this update on it due to it's overtaking of my homepage with
microsft URLs (several), regardless of how many times I appy my homepage
addy...it has ballons every second on toolbar at bottom; tells me I am
possibly infected and need to download one of two MIcrosoft anti virus
softwres to rectify...there are continuous and huge screens blocking my
work. I won;t go into it all again but I am so mad I can't express it.
None of the many fixes have worked and I have rpeatedly tried them all. Yo
can read about this allin my post; I do not want to be redundant.
I am having morero problems than validtion issues...these are major
malicious pop ups that will not go away nor allow me to stop trying to
remove them for a second. C BIRDWISE. I am running ESET andd ran Nod 32
and did an indepth etc etc etc I am not infected...I do not need
Microsft's anti virus software. I need to get ri of Microsoft's
spyware....
This has nothing to do with Microsoft. Your system is infected with a rogue
antivirus program. It is called "rogue" because it pretends to be A Good
Guy but is really Evil. Do not pay them!
Because you didn't give me the name of the program that is trying to get you
to buy it, I can't point you to specific removal steps. Look for them here:

If the rogue is XP Antivirus 2008/09, here are removal steps:

These may work for you and all may be well. However, in many cases the
computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected
by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean.
If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the
specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of
Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or
how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer
professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of
places.
