Is Bill Gates harassing you? Is he stalking you, inside your computer, telling you that “This copy of Windows is not genuine” with annoying little popup messages? Then you are not alone. This latest Microsoft stunt basically installs a virus, created by Microsoft, through Windows Auto Update. The WGA Virus will present users of unregistered or unofficial Windows installations with an alarming warning message. What Microsoft calls a “Genuine” copy of Windows is one that has a unique key, identified by their database, and registered to a specific user or company. Whether you have a pirated copy of Windows or have simply not registered for reasons of privacy, you will be harassed by WGA Notifications (Windows Genuine Advantage), unless you take precautions. If it is already too late, then there are some things you can do to undo the damage caused by the new Microsoft WGA Virus.
Microsoft has assigned several popular yet important downloads such as Internet Explorer 7 RC1 for Windows XP SP2, Windows Defender Beta 2, DirectX End-User Runtime, Windows Media Player 10 and etc as software that available only to users running genuine Microsoft software products. Thus Microsoft protects these software apps with Windows Genuine Advantage program and restricts the download of the these software programs by required users to go through genuine Windows validation test and check.
Windows Genuine Advantage protects the software products available from Microsoft by requiring users to validate their copy of Windows before downloading start and before installing of the application. With the release of WGA Validation Tool 1.5.708.0, Microsoft has also made it harder for any crack, fix, patch or hack to bypass, disable and remove the WGA genuine Windows validation required before allow users to download the software. If for whatever reason you’re unable to pass the validation test even though you’re using the genuine Microsoft Windows products, you still able to download the WGA-protected software, without any crack, hack or patch, by download directly from Microsoft download link.
