Microsoft has recently implemented an additional anti-piracy feature into Windows called Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA). Any time a Windows install attempts to connect to Windows Update or download certain Microsoft update, it may be asked to validate itself to make sure it is a legitimate copy. If validation fails, the user can’t download updates from Windows Update and can only critical upgraded through Microsoft Control Center or through the Automatic Update service.
If you are having problems with WGA on a legitimate installation of Windows, visit the Windows Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Site. In particular, if you use Firefox as your main browser, Microsoft has released a Firefox plug-in to allow WGA to work on this popular browser.
