How to Remove Microsoft Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications

It was requested by friends. I will guide you all how to remove notifications.


Microsoft announced its Genuine Advantage software initiative in March 2006. It's designed as part of the company's wider assault on software piracy. If your windows is not genuine, then the notification of Microsoft Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) notification will always pop up. And this is very annoying. Whenever you start you computer, you need to wait..and click in order to launch windows.

How to Remove WGA
It will enable you to easily remove the Microsoft "Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications" tools, which is calling home and connect to MS servers every time you boot.

Also, Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications is different than Windows Genuine Advantage Validation. Remove WGA only removes the notification part and does not touch the Validation part.

Note: Some antivirus and antispyware programs flag RemoveWGA as being infected/malware, although the application is perfectly safe and does not pose a threat to your system. This is called a 'false positive'. The term false positive is used when antivirus software wrongly classifies an innocuous ( inoffensive ) file as a virus. The incorrect detection may be due to heuristics or to an incorrect virus signature in a database. [Similar problems can occur with antitrojan or antispyware software.]
