Sounds like you may have a virus. Have you ran any virus scan on the computer?. Or ran any spyware scans?

I did

OK, can you be a little more descriptive with your answers?
Which programs did you use for your scans and did you scan in Safe Mode?

If you check under computer properties, does it say Windows is activated? Or do you have a link for re-activation?

Just because you used it fine for a while doesn't mean your copy is actually genuine. Maybe it is, but you didn't explicitly state that it was.

If your copy should actually be legal, then it seems you could do the phone activation method and get it back genuine without issue.
