Virus or no virus?

[Blade81]

The only question I have is, how come my other computer doesn't encounter geuine?I think it was installed by the same disk

Did you have legally purchased copy and installed that to two separate systems? You have to have one legally purchased license for each operation system installation.

Well that question is kind of confusing
Well i think this should answer part of your question
The CD used to install windows was a burned disk from the original copy.Not sure if thats the answer to your question
Also when I was browsing the internet I came across a virus.
Spybot said it detected AdRevolver or something.It gave me a choice if wanted to let it pass or delete it,of course I pciked delete.The only problem was the website I went to was Yahoo! which is a very common site...

Okay, do you own that original copy as well?

If you have two or more computers and want to install for example Windows XP to them you need to purchase license for all of them. "WPA is a means of ensuring that a single copy is not installed on more than a single machine." For further details please read this article.

Here's what I can tell you:
This computer was actually installed with the legit original windows CD.But around half a year ago the computer encounter some problems with files collasping.So since I don't have the original CD but the copy CD I used the copy CD in order to try to repair the files.The weird thing is the other computer encounter file collasping too and I used the copy CD to repair.The other computer was installed by a different legit windows CD

Main question here is did you use different keys for both installations? If you did then I can't say what's wrong. I believe you get best answer by asking straight from Microsoft.

That I'm not sure of, I got both of the computers installed from the same computer store so it's a possibility

[Blade81]

Ok. I believe it would be good to contact the store if you don't want to call and ask from Microsoft first.
