Advent PC - Windows 7

I bought an Advent PC with Windows 7 installed December 2012. For the last week a message "This copy of Windows 7 is not genuine" has been displayed. I clicked a link which was titled "Windows Validation" and, after a week I finally received a "Thank you for evaluating Windows 7.. .. link to pay £109". Has anyone experienced this or is anyone able to shed any light?
Cheers

    but first go to control panel then system see if Windows is activated (if this says it is then it is time to clear out various malicious crap and come back for help)
