[dba-Tech] Windows notification

1. If you have changed any hardware, on your computer recently, it will come
up with this message... like hard drive, lan card or mother board.

2. If you have MS Updates turned off for too long this will also happen.

3. If you have rebuilt your registers or changed/fixed/updates/restored a
number of primary records within the Windows directories of
subdirectories... the message may be invoked.   

4. A number of updates, like MS Office also require you down load an ActiceX
component that once installed continually sends back messages to MS on the
validity of all MS software, on your whole computer. If any piece of
software, on your system, is registered, in more than one place or not fully
registered/activated, that message will continue to pop-up.

Check the link out from MS for details:

Why am I suddenly getting a Windows Notification message when I reboot? It 
wants to determine if I'm running a legitimate copy of Windows -- what the 
hell is this and how do I get rid of it???? I've been running the same copy 
of Windows for years and all the sudden I have to convince MS that it's 
legitimate?
