    "Windows 7 Build 7601 not genuine" intermittently popping up


    I'm working on this for someone else - we have a genuine copy of Windows 7 Pro that is coming up with this error, but only about once a week does it pop up... then the computer is restarted, and all is ok. When I ran the validation (Genuine Microsoft Software) I get "Because Windows installed on your PC is genuine, enjoy the security, reliability and protection it provides." Yay, it's genuine. (I am 100% positive it is genuine in fact, as it all came from Best Buy -- the computer came with Win 7 Home and was upgraded to 7 Pro with a key purchased from the same store.)

    Below is the log from MGADiag -- mind you, this was gathered while it's working and thinks it's valid, so it might not be of any help.

    What I can't figure out is why it will suddenly come up, about once a week (for the last 3 weeks), and then be gone when we reboot... what am I missing?

    Intermittent WGA errors like this tend to be caused by race conditions, where two or more processes fight over resources.

    Such things can happen where the AV (or malware) is fighting the SPPSVC and associated systems - if SPPSVC loses the fight (or at least doesn't win it within a certain amount of time), then the system gets flagged as non-genuine as it assumes that something is actively blocking it.
    Usually, a reboot or two will fix it.

    What AV is installed currently? What other security software is installed?
    What other AV's have EVER been installed on this machine?
    When was the last time you ran a full system scan with updated definitions?

    This machine is running MSE, and that's the only AV that's ever been installed. I actually ran a full scan with that (definitions are up to date), as well as Malwarebytes, TDSSKiller, Sophos Virus Removal Tool, and the ESET Online scanner when this problem first came up (Because I suspected malware as the culprit, and I never take the word of just one program - might be a little bit of overkill, but I have cleaned a LOT of machines and generally find it takes a village to get them clear.) and short of a tracking cookie or two, everything came back clean.

    It's up to date on Windows Updates, save for IE10 because there's a web app she uses that isn't compatible with IE10 currently.

    I've told her to try and get hold of me as soon as it comes up - if it does again, in the hopes that I can find some sort of explanation for it.

    Ugh! Thanks for the answer --I really do appreciate it-- but ugh! :)

    Race conditions are a real pain to isolate - as soon as you start trying to track them they disappear into the woodwork, only to reappear when you remove the tracking.

    There may be some clues in the Event Logs (System and Application are the best bets) - I'll take a look if you want to upload them, but it's needles/haystacks.
