    New message that my Windows 7 is not genuine

    Since a few weeks, I am getting a little popup saying that Windows cannot be activated. Even after rebooting the computer, that message has not gone away.

    Since about a week, I am getting different messages about my Windows 7 not being genuine.

    On the bottom part of the desktop it now says:

    Windows 7
    Build 7601
    This copy of Windows is not genuine

    Often, I get a popup in the corner asking me to activate my key. It says:
    Activate Windows now
    The activation period has expired.
    Click this message to start activation.

    Then at other times, I get a popup saying:

    Optional update delivery is not working

    You may be a victim of software counterfeiting.
    To use all Microsoft windows features, such as all
    updates from Windows Update, get the latest updates;
    and receive product support, your copy of Microsoft
    Windows must be validated as genuine

    And i also "lost" my desktop as it is only black now.
    I rebooted my computer today, thinking it would go away, but it didn't.

    Any idea what is going on?
