    Windows 7 Activation Key hoax solutions

    I am on a genuine version of Windows 7.

    Today I received a very official looking pop-up message that my copy of Windows 7 wasn't genuine and I needed to supply the product activation key.

    I saw a screenshot on line that confirmed this was a hoax.

    I have tried a Restore but it hasn't fixed the problem.

    I have tried scans with Windows Defender and a commercial product and neither detected an issue.

    Desktop screen background has turned black with a message in bottom RHS that copy of Windows is not genuine, Build 7601.

    Computer status doesn't reveal the genuine nature of the Windows 7

    I would rather not reinstall Windows 7 as I am concerned that I will have to reinstall various passwords for Wifi and components etc.

    I have seen some solutions online but don't know if they are from genuine sources. One suggests supplying various codes into the hoax request. Others suggest cmd or .exe solutions.

    Where do I find the official enter product activation key? Some of the online suggestions have options that aren't on my computer.

    Any other suggested steps?

    Thanks in advance

    email hoax???

    old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type
    the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly
    allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Best regards,
