Windows 7 Activation Key
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.

I asked where to find the screen to enter the product key info, ie I had it. Handy links though, and gnarly changing graphics I ended up calling Microsoft as getting late in my part of the world.
