    When I reboot my PC it always appears the following window:

    " Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications "

    What must I do to disable this program?

    Thank you and a good day.

  2. Just be glad Microsoft didn't shut you down completely!

    Google "WGA removal XP SP2" -- or whichever OS you're using. Use the manual methods rather than downloading some software which is likely to be a trojan.

    What would you define as "desirable spam"? Just wondering...

    Or just run a genuine copy of windows, that way you won't recieve the warnings.

    Removing it is not always going to help, as a lot of microsoft stuff requires it now.

  5. Maybe it is a genuine copy of Windows and MS just fucked up again.

    Yeah, it could be.....

    I had a problem (2nd time) with a legit OEM version on an E-machine and microsoft was absolutely no help!!

    They said i had to call e-maichine & then emachine said because it was out of warranty i would have to pay $$$ for their tech support!!!

    A friends mobo went out & when i replaced it, windows saw it as a new machine and would not work

    So here i sat with this POS E-machine, with a LEGIT copy of windows, had the authentic sticker on the back with the serial number, M$ even said it was valid when i called them, and neither M$ or E-machines would do $h!t about it without paying money!!

    So i fixed windows MY way!!!!

    Pretty sad when you have a legit copy of windows and they basically try to screw you out of more $ to make it work!!

    I wonder why people pirate M$ software

    It happened to me, too, but I had to buy another OS CD from them.
    From then on, no Windows updates for me and like you and many others fix it my way.
    I was screwed many times by PC repairers in the beginning, but I take it as learning cost. Now I fix my friend's computers for free and give them tips, but I never charge anything for it.
