windows 7 (64bit) not genuine, tampered service...

Question
-
Ordered a new PC for my father-in-law in Feb-2011, but it now has the Windows 7 not genuine error on the wall paper. Build 7600.
Using these forums as reference (thanks all), I started with trying the SLUI.exe /3 or /4 options, but this fail with errors after entering the product key or immediately if using /4. I them moved onto running the MGA software, and this shows the 'sppsvc service' as being tampered (full output below). We've now also run sfc.exe /scannow as administrator, and no errors shown.
I looks like the next step is to use a system restore point, but I'm concerned that the same thing is going to happen again. The machine is running Microsoft Security Essentials, and I know my father-in-law is not downloading various applications from the internet (just used for email really, and scared of agreeing to any updates/installs).
Some posts have suggested other software could be creating this error? The only 'old' software I can think of (expect for the Office 2003, which is approved for use with windows7 I believe), is some creative webcam software. Will uninstalling various bits of software 'magically fix' the issue?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

tb19,
I've gone into the services and can confirm that the Software Protection start is "Automatic (Delayed Start)".
However, if I try to start the service I get:
"Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified"
Is it possible it reinstall the Software Protection service?
KB971033 was installed when the PC was new (17th Feb), so assuming that has not damaged the files?
I was doing a load of MS updates prior to seeing this problem. Win7 SP1 was unable to install, and it rolled back to a previous restore point.
Thanks
BTW: RPC & DCOM services are running.
BTW2: sppsvc.exe is located in the System32 directory.
<quote Darin - forum owner>There are two reasons (that I know of) to get that error when trying to start that Service.
1) The file is missing (which you have ruled out)
or
2) The registry entry that tells Windows where to find that file is malformed (or missing altogether).
Unfortunately, since registry issues tend to be too complicated, as well as potently risky to the health of Windows if done incorrectly, that I am not comfortable troubleshoot it in the forums. I recommend contacting assisted support at one of the below URL, for further assistance.

Click the Start Orb.
Type in services.msc into the search menu.
Click the services.msc
Scroll down to you find Software Protection and right click it & select properties.
Make sure the startup type is set to Automatic (Delayed Start) then click ok.
Restart the system and Validate Online.

Mmmm, so that's not good then.
I've logged a call with Microsoft, but that just sent me an email pointing to a range of FAQ's at support.microsoft.com. Is there a way of getting this thread raise within the support system?
Do any of the registry cleaners address such an issue?
Thanks.

DO NOT - EVER - use a registry 'cleaner/optimiser/fixer' programs. They are almost all snake-oil, and are highly dangerous!You can point MS Support to this thread - although they may well take control of your PC, and run it for themselves if/when you get to that stage. simply include the link in one of your email responses to them, or tell them where to find it if you're on the phone.

Snake-oil, great description.
I did reference this thread in the email form I filled out at:
https://support.microsoft.com/contactus/emailcontact.aspx?scid=sw;en;1515&ws=GenuineAdvantage
The automated reply then sent me links to:
http://support.microsoft.com
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroup/default.aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/services... but assuming a real case has been created.
Thanks for all the help.
