Windows Genuine Advantage Notification – how to get rid [...]]]> I’m still here just busy, many ideas roaming around in my head, just haven’t had time to stop and write them down but now I’m waiting for a computer to do it’s thing and if you know anything about IT, its called sit and wait…

Windows Genuine Advantage Notification – how to get rid of it, this  and this work perfectly, now you’re probably wondering what this thing is, is like a Microsoft spyware, if your copy of office or xp isn’t validated by Microsoft, its not genuine however there are bugs in that concept, if perhaps you bought a copy from an OEM dealer, its possible Microsoft won’t validate the software which is ridicolosive, yea, I misspelled it but anyways, this harmless but annoying security update gives you a countdown to validate your software or you can’t get updates and it phones home to let Microsoft know that you don’t have a validated copy. What I don’t like about it besides it phones home, is that it shows up everytime you login or reboot the computer and then gives false negatives about legal copies of software and besides that it gets installed without asking if you want to install it. Anyways, if you want to deinstall it there are ways.. I would also suggest using a file shredder or eraser program to delete the WGA files permanently so they don’t come back to haunt you.
