    In the last couple days, my Windows 7 started acting up and claiming that it was not genuine.  I've downloaded and run the MGA Diagnostic tool and it reports my copy of Windows being completely genuine.  My computer is brand new (I built it myself and purchased Windows through a Microsoft employee and did a full install myself) and has been functioning fine for the last month.  I talked on the phone for an hour yesterday to a Microsoft tech and they could not fix the issue.  At best, they discovered that the SPP service (which is responsible for doing the regular communication/validation to MS servers) was failing to startup.  After running sfc /scannow, we discovered that a system file was corrupt, and he looked and it seemed like an ntdll.dll service couldn't correctly startup and this was depended on by SPP, but he had no idea how to fix it.

    Here is my MGA Diagnostic result:

    I haven't had any further feedback from the MS techs as they tried all kinds of things over the phone and when remoting into my machine and couldn't fix things and basically gave up.

     

    Thanks for all your help.  I think I'm going to try an O/S repair via the installation DVD and if that fails I'll wipe the machine and re-install.  This is terribly inconvenient and ridiculous that a potentially botched installation of a patch for Windows broke the system files and thus broke Windows ability to verify its genuineness with the MS servers.

    Your problem is caused by the File Mismatch highlighted above.
    Unfortunately, without knowing exactly what you and the tech found and did yesterday, it’s going to be difficult to know how best to proceed.
    The best thing to start with is probably a basic chkdsdsk and sfc.....
    running CHKDSK and SFC
    type in the Search box
    CMD.EXE
    right-click on the only file that is found
    Select Run as Administrator
    - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up
    At the Command prompt, type
    CHKDSK C: /R
    and hit the Enter key
    You will be told that the drive is locked, and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot. The chkdsk will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!

    After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) - then run the SFC

    SFC -System File Checker - Instructions
    Click on the Start button
    type in the Search box
    CMD.EXE
    right-click on the only file that is found
    Select Run as Administrator
    - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up
    At the Command prompt, type

    SFC /SCANNOW

    and hit the Enter key
    Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.

    run another MGADiag report, and post the results.

    Thanks.  I'll post back with my update.

    But, I do recall yesterday that sppuinotify.dll was problematic and that the sfc /scannow did return errors.  But I didn't try running chkdsk.

    Also, is the genuine validation a one-time thing or something windows will do constantly?

    Validation is ‘optional’ – unless you want to install applications where validation is required (such a MSE, or IE9).
    You can opt out to an extent  by uninstalling the KB971033 update if you wish. – see the article here....
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979803.aspx (written for Volume Licenses, but much also applies to Retail/OEM) and here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971033
     
    By default, Validation will take place around every 90 days – usually in the background - but also if you opt for a download which requires it. It’s not only of benefit to MS, but also to you, as it confirms that your system is less likely to have been hijacked or infected.

    After running CHKDSK and rebooting, I ran sfc as you recommended and got this result:

     

    Beginning verification phase of system scan.

    Verification 100% complete.

    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of th

    em.

    Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example

    Sorry – I thought I’d responded to this already.
    There are a number of problems shown by this log – the best thing may be to run SFC again (it may be able to fix some of the outstanding problems this time around), and then to run the CheckSUR tool http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821.
     
    Once complete, please post both logs.

    Sorry, I was away on the weekend so I didn't reply.  I'll get my results back here as my machine is still complaining.

    I've run the SFC again and then the CheckSUR tool and then finally the SFC one last time.  Here are my results:

     

    SFC scan: https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=0686c4508839d0b0&resid=686C4508839D0B0!175&parid=686C4508839D0B0!173&authkey=!AAKlOFhsV95Iz_g

    CheckSUR:https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=0686c4508839d0b0&resid=686C4508839D0B0!177&parid=686C4508839D0B0!173&authkey=!ANQp3E2MU_79t8s

    Final SFC scan: https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=0686c4508839d0b0&resid=686C4508839D0B0!176&parid=686C4508839D0B0!173&authkey=!AMtpINAcRCQlzJU

    The results don't seem different as SFC still is reporting errors and the CheckSUR seemed to encounter no problems.

    The results don't seem different as SFC still is reporting errors and the CheckSUR seemed to encounter no problems.

    the problems in SFC appear to stem from two sources only, although there are 5 files affected.
     
    “Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514.WindowsFoundationDelivery"
     
    "Package_4_for_KB2567680~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.2.2567680-11_neutral_GDR"
     
    Unfortunately, this type of problem is really outside my area of expertise :(
     
    You could try replacing the affected files by copying from a known-good machine (using WinRE)
    or you could try uninstalling KB2567680 and reinstalling it – but that may leave your system in an unknown state if the uninstall fails.
     
    Have you had any more feedback from the MS tech?? – it’s worth getting back to them again and seeing if they can assist further.

    I haven't had any further feedback from the MS techs as they tried all kinds of things over the phone and when remoting into my machine and couldn't fix things and basically gave up.

     

    Thanks for all your help.  I think I'm going to try an O/S repair via the installation DVD and if that fails I'll wipe the machine and re-install.  This is terribly inconvenient and ridiculous that a potentially botched installation of a patch for Windows broke the system files and thus broke Windows ability to verify its genuineness with the MS servers.

    I can’t help but agree with you :(
    I too would be looking (with a certain amount of dread) at a reinstall at this point.
    All I can say is ‘Good Luck!’
