    I just bought a Samsung PC with Windows 7 Home Premium about a month ago.  Now I get this stupid message "This Copy of windows is not genuine".   Wrong.  Then I tried to correct it.  I get "You may be a victim of software counterfeiting".  I bought it from Best Buy.   There is a link to go and resolve it and get yet another error :

    A problem has been encountered during the Microsoft Genuine Advantage validation process. Due to technical difficulties, we are unable to determine whether your operating system is genuine at this time. Please return later to complete the validation process.

     I use my PC for my job as a contractor.  I don't need this soft of problem cropping up out of nowhere.
