I have the original windows XP home edition, but i'm only allowed to use it 2 times. I recently had trouble with my computer and had format it about 3 times, so i cannot use my genuine windows disc anymore. I am not going to buy a new copy because i do not have the money, but i was wondering if i could install an anti virus program on my computer so that windows won't find out that it is not genuine, and i won't have to deal with the black desktop background. Could anyone also recommend any anti virus programs that are free and easy to download.

Thank You.
