Genuine Windows 7 not verified as Genuine? RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi! I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, and recently I've been getting a pop-up window indicating that "This computer is not running Genuine Windows." This started about a week after being infected with some malware (which has since been removed, verified at least 5x). The malware screwed with the internet proxy settings, and I suspect that might be part of the problem.

    The copy of Windows 7 is the OEM version (as verified by the diagnostic tool below), and I've never even thought about reinstalling Windows.

    Despite trying all sorts of fixes as indicated on the support.microsoft.com sites, I'm having no luck in clearing the error.

    So far, I have attempted:
    -Resetting the proxy settings
    -Calling the phone number and attempting to validate the code by running SLUI 4.exe (no luck, was told my version was not legit)

    Any thoughts? (After running the MGADiag tool, I'm noticing some tampered files. Are these the cause of the problem? If so, how can I fix them?)

    Here's the MGADiag tool report:

  • The malware has corrupted the Windows 7 system files.  Only a "clean install" of Windows 7 will be the safe and prudent thing to do to avoid possible reinfection.

  • The only solution we've found for this set of errors is a repair install of the operating system, although one or two people have reported that uninstalling SP1 and then reinstalling it worked.

  • I'm not significantly concerned about reinfection. If it comes to that, I'll backup the relevant data and do a clean install. But before I pursue the nuclear option, I'd like to know if there's a way to fix/replace/repair those tampered files to get things running properly again (if even for a short time).

    Any thoughts?
