Hey guys, I have this virus (or what I expect to be one). As soon as I saw the message, I pulled the internet. However, the "virus" is allowing me into Anti- Virus and all. Please view the video link and help me figure out what this is and how to remove it. I am an accountant, and I can't afford to reformat at this time! Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You're using AVG Antivirus, which is quite a good program, but nothing to do with your problem in this case. The Microsoft Genuine Windows Validation tool (probably installed on a recent Windows update) has detected that you have a pirated version of Windows. Do you have a product key sticker on the outside of your computer case?
If there is a mistake and you have a genuine copy of Windows you need to call Microsoft (clicking the star icon on the taskbar should give you your nearest contact number). Otherwise you have to buy a licenced copy of Windows and enter the new product key.
