Hello Chris Brizz,
Right now, your computer has a Volume Licensing edition of XP Pro installed (Line 10), and that installation was done with a now-geographically blocked Volume Licensing Key (VLK) (Line 2). VLKs are blocked by Microsoft at the request of the original keyholder for such reasons as the key was lost, stolen, compromised, misused, or expired. Also, MS may have blocked the key if it notices a pattern of misuse, ie, more installations of XP using that key than authorized.
A geographically blocked key is blocked when it is detected in use outside of the worldwide geographic area(s) and/or region(s) covered by its VL Agreement. The particular Product Key you are using, which ends in 3R89F-D2KXW-VPK3J, is a widely pirated key, and it looks like it recently (end of March, 2009 for time zones other than USA, and very recently for some USA time zones) had a geographic block put on it to try to curb its use, which probably explains why it is showing as Genuine up until recently.Also note that the installed license for XP Pro is a Volume License. As a rule, VL editions of XP should not be sold to individual consumers. Businesses, schools and gov'ts normally use VL editions for flexibility in installing many computers. Additionally, VL editions are Upgrade licenses ONLY, and therfore cannot be used as the primary or base license for a computer.
This is why you were seeing the "software counterfeiting" messages on your computer, because the current installation of XP is an unauthorized installation.
Regarding Office, please refer to the mgadiag extract below:
OGA Data-->
Office Status: 103 Blocked VLK
Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 - 103 Blocked VLK

Office Diagnostics: 025D1FF3-230-1According to the report, unfortunately your Office installation is also nongenuine, for the same reasons as your Windows installation. It is an unauthorized installation of a Volume Licensing edition of Office 2003 Professional, and such installation was done with a widely pirated and now-blocked Volume Licensing Key.
Consumer licenses for XP and Office will always be accompanied by Certificates of Authenticity (CoA), sometimes on the retail box in which retail product was purchased, and other times affixed to the computer (XP) or affixed to the CD folder (Office) when preinstalled by the computer's manufacturer/systembuilder.Next look on the computer itself, in the documentation you received with the computer or with your retail purchase of Windows to see if you have Certificate of Authenticity (COAs) for Office and Windows. If so, tell us about the COAs for XP and Office. Tell us:
1. What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or Media Center, or another version of Windows? Which edition of Office is printed on the Office CoA?
2. Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?
3. Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?
4. DO NOT post the full Product Key that may be printed on the CoA.
Not sure what to look for? See this page for reference: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx
