Windows Not Genuine, even though Copy is Purchased
Hello,
Since yesterday morning I've been getting the message "Windows 7 Build 7601 This Copy of Windows is Not Genuine" on my HP Pavilion Elite desktop computer, which I purchased in 2012.
I called Microsoft and they said that HP was blocking my copy. I then called HP, and they said they don't do that. I then explained to HP what happened. They thought it might be a virus that was the cause. I explained that I had a backup hard drive (a duplicate of the date and OS image, etc. from a month ago) and the same problem error popped up when I used that one. They said it might have been a "virus bomb" that's been on the system for months and set to go off on a date. It could also be in the BIOS.
I ran an Adaware scan and a MalewareBytes scan. Both of them found some malware that has been removed, but the problem remains. I'm currently running "Microsoft Safety Scanner".
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Are there any well known viruses or maleware that are known to cause this issue?
Additional, about a month ago I had the motherboard replaced by a professional computer company. The other motherboard was damaged due to a power surge, possibly. The replacement was not an upgrade. But that was a month ago, and everything was working fine until yesterday.
I ran MGADiag.exe. Here is the code:
