Weekly "This copy of Windows is not genuine" notification

Question
-
Roughly every week, I am getting the "This copy of Windows is not genuine" notification on my desktop. Running the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool causes the message to go away without any further action on my part, but I have to repeat this process every week.
Log follows:

There's nothing wrong in the report - which possibly indicates that the problem is a 'race condition'
Do you have any scheduled tasks set up which may be affecting things? if so, what?
does it coincide with any regular housekeeping tasks that you do manually?
Is your AV perhaps set to scan that day? (AV's seem to be the most common causes of this kind of thing)

Thanks. You might be on to something, because I have a full system backup using Acronis True Image Home 2012 scheduled to run every Monday during lunch. I'll have to pay attention going forward to see if they're related. If that's the cause, do you have any suggestions as to a work-around?
Regards,
Kevin

The system will retest itself periodically anyhow and should reset either after a reboot or just if you leave it long enough :)
See how long you can ignore it before it goes away <eg>

Reschedule the backup for "after hours". ATIH will wake the computer up from sleep mode to run (provided you are using the default settings) and put it back to sleep afterwards. Just don't shut down the afternoon before the scheduled run.
