    I bought a copy of Windows 7 from eBay, but discovered it to be a pirated copy, so reported the fraud to eBay, PayPal, Trading Standards and Microsoft. Microsoft's anti-piracy team sent me a genuine copy, but when I started it up today, I noticed an error message in the bottom right corner stating that my copy of Windows is not genuine. I've never noticed that message before, but I do start Windows 7 up fairly rarely. I'm running the OS as a VM in Parallels Desktop 7 on a mid-2007 MacBook Pro 2.4GHz, 15" screen.

    I'm worried my copy of Windows will stop working if I don't get this fixed -- what can I do to solve this problem?

    There's no error showing in the report - is the notification still showing?

    If not, it was probably just a race condition causing the Software Protection service to go into sulk mode for a while - perhaps as a result of updates installing, or an anti-virus blocking access.

    You're right, the message has gone now. It has cleared up on its own - just a false alarm. Now I can relax again :)

    Thank you for checking the report over.

    This is not an issue that requires any complicated reconfiguring of your computer, or changing any information anywhere.

    This is not even the result of any virus.

    This is just yet another problem apparently created by Microsoft itself.

    I am getting the same message, even though I got my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate direct from Microsoft.

    I doubt whether they would have given me a bogus copy of their own flagship OS product.

    Microsoft should just create a Hotfix for this.

    Microsoft must have included a new Service, called "Windows Activation Technologies Service" in one of their updates.

    I do not remember this Service being in my list of Services when I first installed my very genuine copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, and yet somehow it mysteriously appeared in my list of Services a few months ago.

    By an amazing coincidence, that is when those Build 7601 messages about my copy not being genuine started appearing in the lower right-hand corner of my screen.

    In order to stop those messages, apparently all you have to do is to make sure that BOTH the "Windows Update" Service AND the "Windows Activation Technologies Service" Service are set on Automatic and have actually started.

    The problem is, that even with setting the "Windows Activation Technologies Service" Service on "Automatic", it never actually seems to start automatically.

    You have to go to Services every time you restart your computer, and turn it on manually (at least I do). 

    Unfortunately, if you are like me, and you keep your computer on 24/7, you have probably disabled the "Windows Update" Service, to prevent the automatic downloading of updates at 3AM and the resulting restarting of your computer sometimes.

    If so, no problem.

    When you see that Build 7601 message, go to Services.

    First make sure you have set the "Windows Activation Technologies Service" Service to Automatic.

    If it has not started, then start it manually. 

    Then go down to your "Windows Update" Service.

    If you have disabled it (like I always do) then first enable it manually, by setting it to "Automatic".

    Then start it manually.

    Then go to your list of Programs, and click on the "Windows Update" icon.

    The Windows Update window will appear.

    Click on the update button.

    The minute Windows starts to check for updates, that Build 7601 message will disappear.

    Another small box will then appear, telling you that your copy of Windows 7 may not be genuine, and inviting you to check online for a solution.

    Don't waste your time checking, since there apparently really isn't any solution other than what I have told you here.

    Just close that box.

    Then go back to Services, and stop the "Windows Update" Service manually, and set it to Disabled.

    Leave the "Windows Activation Technologies Service" started and set to Automatic.

    Eventually it turns itself off and the Build 7601 message appears again.

    So then you have to go through all these gyrations all over again.

    I did try leaving the "Windows Update" Service on for a day or two, once I did all the above, and the Build 7601 message did not reappear.

    Thus, if you do not mind taking the risk of having your computer restart at 3AM after installing updates that you didn't know about (such as whatever update had the "Windows Activation Technologies Service" Service), then you probably won't ever see that Build 7601 message or that little box inviting you to check for solutions again.

    It would be really nice I Microsoft would just create a Hotfix for this irritating issue.
