Remove WGA : Stop Notifying MS the genuineness of your Windows

Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications tool, is a tool is present in Windows which communicates with Microsoft servers and every time you boot. It notifies Microsoft if the Windows being used is genuine or not.  Futures updates of this notification tool will (officialy) setup the connection rate to once every two weeks. RemoveWGA lets you easily remove this tool from your system.

Once the notification tool has once checked your copy as being genuine there doesn’t seem to be any point in checking again and again on every boot. RemoveWGA lets you remove this tool. Also Microsoft in past has used deceptive ways to install this tool on the people’s system , one of which being encapsulating as a security update which is essential for users.

This Notification tool of Windows is different from Windows Genuine Advantage Validation. RemoveWGA removes only the notification tool and not the validation tool from the system.

Some of the features of the software are :

• Tell you if the WGA notification tool is active on your system
• Allows you to remove the WGA notification tool from your system
• Accept the “-silent” command line parameter to silently check if the WGA notification tool is active on your system, and popup only if it is found (useful for checking automatically at startup for instance)
• Set all files to be deleted at next reboot instead of just the system32 ones

Note: Some antivirus may show RemoveWGA as a security threat but it is actually not a security threat at all.

The software is freely available on many free download sites all over the net.
