This copy of Windows is not genuine.

In the bottom right of my desktop, Win 7 home premium.
It is !!
I have searched the net, downloaded Windows Activation Update as recommended and it still keeps coming back (and going away again just as randomly). Did a factory restore after a major crash a couple of months ago which still did not make it go away. Go to Win Update and the little box comes up about counterfeit with a link to MS, click on it and says your copy is genuine and warning goes away...... but after a while comes back again.
Any help pleeeeeeeese !!

Sounds to me like you need to make sure the software knows your Windows serial number, (seen this exact thing a few times at work). Also known as Windows product number.
This page will tell you how to re-enter it into your Windows system.
