Windows 7 Build 7600 / This copy of Windows is not genuine

Question
-
I've been using windows 7 now since launch, I have a genuine retail box which I bought at launch and recently (2 - 3 months ago) I upgraded my hardware. In the last 2 weeks following a windows update I keep getting messages stating: You may be a victim of software counterfeiting and asking to go online and resolve now. However it isn't letting me do that(I get error code 0x8007000D the data is invalid). I emailed a log over (support ref: 1131000681) and havn't received an actual responce yet just an automated acknowledgement.
It's now not letting me run the log file utility when I click on the button to download nothing happens, please advise.

Something has interfered with the software protection service.
- type services.msc in the start menu, press enter, scroll down to a service called software protection. Insure it is set to automatic [delayed start], if not right click on it, set it to automatic [delayed start] then click apply (or OK). right click on the service again and select start to start the service if it is not running. Write down any errors that occur through this process
- If the above did not apply, or if it did not fix the problem type cmd in the start menu, then right click on the cmd icon that appears, select run as administrator, type sfc /scannow and allow it to run, follow any instructions to reboot.
- If that did not do the trick then type system restore in the search box, start the restoration process to a save point dated prior to the first non genuine status.
Let us know if this helps, submit a new report at anytime if you feel it has been repaired so we can verify.

A folder "Windows\sistem32" doesn't exist in any version of Windows. If you didn't create it yourself, you may have caught some malware that changed important system settings. Try "sfc/scannow" to check that. As a temporary solution, you could move sppsvc.exe manually into the "Windows\system32" folder and register it with "regsvr32" ("regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\sppsvc.exe").

Hello Corbana,
While the word "sisteme" is Romanian for "System", non-english versions of Windows still use the Windows\system32 spelling for that folder. In other words, if you had a Romanian version of Windows, the "Windows\system32" folder would still be spelled "Windows\system32".
Since this "Windows\sistem32" folder is not a Windows system folder, it was not created by Windows during install. So it had to be created either by a user of the computer, by a legitimate program or by malware. The fact that an importent Windows service has been remapped to a file located in a non-windows system folder suggests to me that it's likely the work of malware.
Unfortunatly, remapping services (and possible malware) is outside my expertise. Personally I would suggest reinstalling. But if that is not acceptable, you can create a (no cost) support request at http://support.microsoft.com/gp/contactwga for additional assistance. (Note: I can't guarantee they will be able to fix the issue without the need for a reinstall).
Sorry I couldn't be more help,

OK I have tried system restore and it removed the blacked out desktop but within an hour of using the computer I get the message again stating I may be a victim of software counterfeiting and asking to go online and resolve now. I have also tried the system file checker to no avail.
When checking the services.msc option I have found that SPP is mapped to "C:\Windows\sistem32\sppsvc.exe" rather than "C:\Windows\system32\sppsvc.exe" unfortunately I cannot see how to remap this so I am unsure on my next step. Please can you advise?

The version I installed was an English version.
The "Sistem32" folder does not exist on my machine anywhere.
I have formatted the machine now and the message has stopped appearing and the service is pointing at the correct file so all is well in the world again, a little more extreme than I would have like but better safe than sorry.
Thanks for all your help
