Microsoft will make WGA more intrusive and will use scare tactics to make users validate and purchase a legal copy. On 4/25/06 Microsoft will start WGA Notification in the US, UK, Australia, NZ and Malaysia. The WGA notification has been running as a pilot in several countries such as Norway, Taiwan, Sweden, Israel, Denmark, Poland and other countries.When a user goes to WGA to validate and/or download things like IE 7.0 or Media player they may receive the notification if their copy is not genuine.Up until now if you didn’t validate your copy of Windows nothing happened, but now with the WGA Notification, every time you reboot your computer, log-in and periodically (every hour or so) Windows will display a nag screen “reminding” you to validate your copy.Log-in Nag Screen From the first time users get the request to validate they have 14 days to comply. After 14 days they will not be able to download security upgrades such as IE7 and Windows Defender. Critical security updates will still be available like it is now.
Remove Windows Genuine Advantage tool and nag screen (M$ update KB905474) If you install Windows Update 905474 it phones home to "validate" your copy of XP. If you fail the validation test, XP keeps reminding you with annoying logon messages, desktop warnings, and system tray balloons. According to M$ KB905474 you can only temporarily disable the nag screens. Update 905474 does not come with an uninstaller.To uninstall the Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications application:1) Open x:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Windows Genuine Advantage\data\Data.dat with notepad and delete all the contents.2) Set the empty file as "read only."3) boot into safe mode.4) Delete wgalogon.dll, spmgs.dll, and wgatray.exe from your system32 folder.5) Delete x:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\6c4788c9549d437e76e1773a7639582a.6) Reboot.7) (Optional: search your registry for wgatray and wgalogon and delete those registry items.)
Rename wgalogon.dll and wgatray.exe (C:\windows\system32\) and reboot
Description:muBlinder ( Microsoft Update Blinder ) is a small 40kb application that bypasses Microsoft Update's Genuine Windows Validation and allows you to view, choose and install all available updates. It does not install any DLL's, does not make any changes to the registry nor any other part of your system. Unlike other solutions you see floating around that require you to delete DLLs and install fake ones, which in some cases causes system instability, or the need to wait and download new DLLs everytime MS updates their Genuine Windows Validation library, muBlinder works to directly manupilate the checking mechanism and blinds it in its own memory space. In addition, muBlinder does not need to be installed and can be placed on a floppy disk or flash memory stick. Just unzip to a folder of your choice and run it. For removal, simply delete the muBlinder.exe file.

To date, with its Genuine Advantage anti-piracy programs, Microsoft has targeted consumers. Windows and Office users have been required to validate their products as "genuine" before being able to obtain many downloads and add-ons. Come this fall, however, the Redmond, Wash., software maker is planning to turn up the Genuine Advantage heat in two ways: by baking more Genuine Advantage checks directly into Windows Vista, and by taking aim at PC makers, system builders, Internet cafes and other sources of potentially pirated software.Microsoft Platforms and Services Co-President Kevin Johnson was more specific about Microsoft's plans, in his remarks to Wall Street analysts at Microsoft's Financial Analyst Meeting in late July. "We built a set of features and a set of functionality that is only available to genuine Windows customers," Johnson said. "Windows Defender, for example, the anti-spyware for Windows XP and Windows Vista, is available to genuine Windows customers. Windows Media Player 11.0, Internet Explorer 7.0, will be available for download for Windows XP customers who are genuine, and of course those are built into Windows Vista. Future updates to Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player for Windows Vista will require them to be genuine. And certainly there's some premium features built into the Windows Vista operating system that will require genuine validation as well. So we're really trying to amplify the fact that being genuine enables the set of benefits and value to access these types of features and
