another OGA question

[saypoint]

I bought a copy of Office 2007 Pro from an online seller who advertised it as
a genuine, new copy. It came in a sealed box with the hologram CDs and
installed with no problems using the product key in the box. After
downloading updates, I started getting the "not genuine" message after
reboots. The seller insists that this is a legitimate licensed product which
was purchased from a Circuit City store that was going out of business, and
that the messages I'm getting are due to some problem with the installation,
not with the authenticity of the software.

I can force him to refund my money by having my credit card company or
paypal stop the payment, but I've seen some posts in various places
describing cases where genuine software got this OGA fake warning. I want to
give him the benefit of the doubt. How do I determine what the truth is?

might be your antivirus
blocking the required
scan of the program.

have you tried this?

incidentally, temporarily
disable your anti virus
before doing the above.

I think the above is more
appropriate for validating
