Windows 7 This copy is not genuine

Postby Richard » Sun Sep 20, 2015 10:18 am

Has anyone else had this, my version was registered and all ok up until now.
But looking at the W7 product key on my computer (system properties) it now reports it requiring activation whereupon I am told it is not genuine.
However trying the following:

Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool:
Tool Download: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=56062

I am then told it is genuine 100%.
My screen is now black but the icons show correctly and I can run windows normally.
Perhaps it is malware, but then it has altered my system properties somehow, and changed the registry?
