Hi! If you are getting this message this means that the license/key inserted for windows installation is not for an original XP. Do you have a sticker or license key on your PC or under your LAPTOP? If yes,contact the vendor or Microsoft. Please note that a counterfeit version of windows cannot use an original license or vice-versa. Please rate this advice if you found it helpful. Thanks!
Is it a geninue in CD or a pirated one? If pirated one, i would recommended you to go an purchase a validate version and use the key to authenticate your system. and if you have a Original one, you can call microsoft customer care / email them and they should be able to help you out with the same.
Nowhere in the article does it say anything about "your PC is at risk". I suspect that what you have encountered is called scareware; it is trying to trick you into downloading malware. Go to:
