@Hazelnuts39:
I'm amazed. What prevented you from doing the appropriate thing and drop the nose half a degree or so?
I assume, you know the A330 and its related non-normal procedures: It says in QRH 2.21 "Respect Stall warning and disregard "Risk of undue stall warning" status message". In so far, you would be right. However, if you follow the whole procedure, crosscheck your Attitude/power-setting according to the table provided in 2.23, crosscheck with the GPS-derived speed and get the stall-warning nevertheless (BTW: with changing pitch angles) you consider the stall-warning invalid. Even the TRE explained that the simulator does not behave according to the manuals.

All I wanted to hint to is that sometimes the (aural) warnings created by the aircraft are adding up to the pressure you already have and should be able to be cancelled (e.g. by use of the emergency cancel-button, which did not work in this case...)
