Windows XP Genuine Advange MUST READ!
I dunno, if has been posted... microsoft has added another Genuine program, called "Windows Genuine Advange Notifications(KB905474)" this could be avoided if you go to Windows Update site and select High Priority and is going to be second one in list or only one if you already apply all updates and than unchecked it, if you dont than this program get install and try go to windows update again Genuine checker shit is back because of the program, and even if you try bypass using "Windows Genuine Advantage Patcher (1.5.512.0)" wont work if believe me I tried... only way I bypass it is using the javascript method still works.
yes this program just sit there on your system tray and is parent to Winlogon.exe , so try to kill with
windows task manager comes back again and quickly.. so only thing I have read to get rid of the Notification shit is going to
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Windows Genuine Advantage\data" and remane "data.dat" to something else..
update 1: here image what is happing to me is TRUE nag, even replace my logo screen and have to wait 5 sec to get into windows... SO DONT INSTALL it!

update 2:
if anyone want try to get rid of WGAN than here file get install...
c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download\6c4788c9549d437e76e1773a7639582a\
and "wgalogon.dll" and "spmsg.dll" are you little friend changes your logon screen and wgatray.exe..
need to be delete but not so easy thou... easy method use recovery console windows xp cd delete them from there. I spend like 4hr figuring out how to get rid of it and i won the battle microshit ;)
hopefully, someone will crack this shit...
i hope this help some people. :)
edit: I try method about renaming the data.dat didn't work for me..
Re: Windows XP Genuine Advange MUST READ!
Just don't install it.
I just checked WU. There were 2 critical updates. One was a NEW WGA. I installed the one NOT the new WGA. AOK here.
This worked an hour ago. Subject to change of course.

I don't know why I think this is soooooooo funny , cause I know my phone will soon be ringing of the hook with my buddies calling about this problem . :(
Crossing fingers hoping for a quick fix , swear some of the numb skulls still have an XP disk starting with FUK.... :whistling
Re: Windows XP Genuine Advange MUST READ!
I FOUND it!!!!!!!
LOL otay otay let me link up: Just go to torrentz.com or typhoontorrent.com(Whatever the exact link is ><)
And serach for 'Windows Genuine' and yeah dl whatever since they all same pretty much, and unzip/rar/etc... and put the file in BOTH c:/Windows/System32(OverWrite) AND this is important AND in the following location: c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download\6c4788c9549d437e76e1773a7639582a\
I didn't put it there and the nagging continued but was otay on main screen.
I hope that helps a little.
