I prefer to remove that article ...
Thanks mate

How typical, they purchase a microsoft-antipiracy domain and redirect it to the official piracy page @ Microsoft. It's fake so there's no need to do anything, put back the articles, don't be afraid of the ''fake'' piracy reports

Oh ok then
Thanks Hawk !

Who cares if it's real or fake, it's a single thread.
Just remove it, and move on with life.
