    Looks like you paid for a bootleg copy. You should take it back and get a refund.

    BTW, we cant help you with pirated material here in the public forums.

    hey geestar buddy! man, its been a few years huh? hope all is well...

    yeah the only time i've seen people with the counterfeit malicious copy message is with copied or hacked versions. but if you did in fact purchase a real copy and have a good serial number, then by all means call microsoft, they're the ones you should talk to for a problem like this.
