Solved Windows now says that my copy is counterfeit.

I built a new PC a little over 2 years now and bought everything, nothing was second hand or salvaged from other computers. I have never had any issues with my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 till now. I received my copy in a sealed case and with the key sticker on the outside still intack. About a month ago I started having issues with not being able to install any updates and did not think anything this serious. I ran some virus scans with no viruses found. I use Avast and SpyBit S&D.


I contacted Microsoft to try to get it resolved only to get the reply of "you have a counterfeit copy". After hours of reading forums and trying to re-apply my key, I have come to the conclusion that I may have contracted a virus of some sort. So my next course of action is to go ahead and do a full reinstall. Though I do not want do reinstall only for it to say this is a fake copy again. So maybe someone out there has a solution for me.

As has been pointed out, your problem is the 'Tampered file' sppwinob.dll
Since this file also appears as a file mismatch, it may have been substituted or corrupted by malware.
Have you had any problem with malware recently? What AV and other seciruty software are you running?


To attempt to address this, please run the standard file system tools....
Please run CHKDSK and SFC scans -
type in the Search box
CMD.EXE
right-click on the only file that is found
Select Run as Administrator
- the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up
At the Command prompt, type
CHKDSK C: /R
and hit the Enter key
You will be told that the drive is locked, and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot
- hit the Y key, and then reboot. The chkdsk will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!

After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot)
- then run the SFC

SFC -System File Checker - Instructions
Click on the Start button
type in the Search box
CMD.EXE
right-click on the only file that is found
Select Run as Administrator
- the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up
At the Command prompt, type

SFC /SCANNOW

and hit the Enter key
Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages
- and then reboot.
Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.

<edit> Oh - and there is no sign whatever that the system is counterfeit! </edit>

Anything is possible.

But, since you haven't told us anything about the pedigree of your Windows 7 disc, it's entirely possible you have a counterfeit disc, as Microsoft says.

The world is full of counterfeit discs "in a sealed case and with the key sticker on the outside".

If it's a fake, Microsoft may make it good, depending on the surrounding circumstances--of which we know nothing.

@Wanchoo: Yeah even after explaining that I have had it for 2 years he said I got a counterfeit copy. He walked me through a few webpages that i guess verify it. Though to be honest he seemed like he just wanted me off the phone.


@Profdlp: I got my copy from Newegg about 2 years ago. It came in a sealed case with the halogram CD and the authenticity sticker for me to attach to my PC. The date shows 11/20/10 and the size is 409 KB.


@NoelDP: I will try that as soon as I get done replying here. I am currently running Avast and SpyBot S&D. I cannot recall any issues of late with and attacks.


@Ignatzatsonic: When I say sealed case I mean original packaging with a halogram CD inside and the authenticity sticker still afixed to the removable backing(as in the backing that you would find on any sticker). To me what I got seems to be ginuine and looks authentic. Unless counterfeits go to great lenths to make their packaging look realistic.

Counterfeiters do exactly that. Otherwise, how could you fool anyone?

However, if I understand correctly, you got it from Newegg?

If so, I would assume it is legitimate. Again, anything is possible.

Yeah I bought it along with the majority of my parts from newegg. Some specialty parts I went to other sites for but I got the new SSD and OS from Newegg. Thanks for your concern that I may still be looking at a counterfeit copy. Your right if they wanted to sell something as ginuine they would make it look as legit as they could.

If you bought it from Newegg and can prove it, I'd have to think Microsoft or Newegg would ultimately make it good.

My guess would be that it is legit, but you have some other issue going on.

I am leaning towards that too. I am about on the verge of just redoing a fresh install. I have most of my important files backed-up on a external drive it is just a matter of reinstalling and gettting all the updates. I really hate having to do it as I am sure most here have had to do it a time or two:) Going to hold out till I do the chkdsk and SFC scan to see if that opens up another option. Right now I am in the middle of installing a game(lol I know installing right before I do a fresh reinstall) that I had a friend refer me to. Thanks for advice so far guys.

The date and size match what is on my system exactly.

I asked about when and where you got is because there are a lot of people who pick up sophisticated fakes off eBay or something. Those are sometimes cracked with a file which it takes Microsoft a while to catch up to. The fact that you got it from Newegg a couple years ago with the rest of the systems makes me pretty sure that you either had a corrupt install or MS just mistakenly flagged you. Either way I'm sure it can be straightened out. :)

Please people - the last few posts have either confused the issue, or repeated what's already been said.

Let's give the OP a chance to digest the offerings, and respond as appropriate, before deluging them with what are (in some instances) irrelevancies.

@NoelDP: I ran the chkdsk and all I could get out of it since it went so fast was this error:

Replaced bad cluster 502 windows\logs\system~1\RE5479~1.ETL


The SFC scan says it found currupted files and has created a log. The log is huge and it does not let me open it. I assume I need the windows repair kit thing to open and read it. In the past I diabled with it some but could not make head or tails of it.

The fact that the CHKDSK found even one bad cluster is a pontential indicator that the hard drive may be on the way out.
You should back up your data to external media now - before doing anything more.

Once that's done, download the hard disk manufacturer's disk test utility, and create the boot CD.
Boot to the utility and run the Quick test - if that reports errors, then you probably have a failing drive.
Run the Long test - at the end it may offer to try and fix problems. Accept that, and then run another Long test to check the results.
