WGA Removal

What really works? 

There have been many suggestions, methods, how to’s and more of how to disable this latest Microsoft anti piracy software, and hasn’t it just caused such a stir. Here on wannabegeek we have carried a removal link and this has generated more hits and page views than we would have expected as this is just a brand new site. So many thanks to Microsoft for generating our site traffic. 

There is another site    mydigitallife    which carries at least a hundred and one ways to disable this most unpleasant update from M$ as it is affectionately known.

This has prompted us to try these and see which ones really work, which ones allow the installation of Microsoft’s new products such as Windows Defender, Media Player 11,and  the latest version of windows live and IE7

We downloaded a pirate copy of  XP Pro SP2 which by the way is surprisingly!, easy to do,  complete installation and more software than you could want, almost an automatic install with minimal input required, not even a product key, so you don’t really know if your running a blacklisted key or not.

It took quite awhile to download and install all the updates from Microsoft and eventually get the annoying wga screen 

Firstly we tried the main method shown on this site

Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\windows\system32
Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\windows\system32\dllcache

Start Windows Registry editor and delete the folder “WGALOGON” located in the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinlogonNotify. Delete all references in your registry to WgaTray.exe
