Microsoft: YOUR SHIT IS FAKE!!
    #5610882 - 05/09/06 10:57 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Yeah Microsoft is now putting a little virus on your computer to let you know that they know your shit is a pirate version of XP.

I had to reformat and disable automatic updates.  :grin: 3 years no problem, now this, lol

It gives nag screens on start-up with a log-on timer, as well as an annoying baloon on the bottom right that keeps popping up once Windows starts.

I'm not paying those sum bitches a dime, I'll just not get updates, who cares? if I get virused I'll just reformat. I got reformatting down to a 1 hour McDonald's science. haha

1) open internet options (right click on internet explorer or go through control panel)
2) select the 'programs' tab
3) Towards the lower you should see 'manage add-ons...' - clcik on this
4) Scroll down the list that appears and click on 'Windows Genuine Advantage'
5) You should now be able to select either 'enable' or 'disable'. I'm sure you don't need telliing which to select
Then run Task Manager in Windows and kill a file called WgaTray.exe. Then, a user should go to the System32 folder and find WgaTray.exe and wgalogon.dll. Once those files are identified, they should be renamed to WgaTray1.exe and wgalogon1.dll and then the user should perform a restart

Thanks. I guess because I didn't do the updates I don't have it because 'Windows Genuine Advantage' isn't even in the list.

Should I go ahead and get all the updates and then when it appears disable it? Or should I just keep on keepin' on as is?

actually no.

I did put in SP2, (I had to so I could overcome the 137gb barrier).

I just didn't do the usual "critical updates" or turn on auto updates. Should I turn on auto updates? They don't even offer updates on their website anymore btw, auto update is apparently the only way to get the updates. Maybe there s another way, maybe they aren't really nescessary I dunno, plz help me decide.

IMO no one should ever have automatic updates enabled even if you accualy paid for the software .... I have seen automatic updates crash quite a few peoples computers ...

Do you have to download it to be able to continue to recieve other critical updates? Also, is there a way to ignore the update, so that I don't get a popup telling me to download it all the time?

And the end of the line:

"To get updates, you must first validate your Windows software. Validation assures that you are using an authentic and fully licensed copy of Windows."

And in the internet properties 'windows genuine advantage'is there now.

But when I click on it to select it, the box to turn it on and off are greyed out and it says:

"This add on is managed by your administrator"

So what now?

The stupid "user accounts" thing says I'm already on a "computer administrator" account.

Oh and where's "task manager"? Sorry for being so dumb about this shit.

why didn't you just click Custom when it says it's ready to install the updates and then just uncheck that one?

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Boo hoo Microsoft wants people to pay for their product. There are plenty of free alternatives available if you don't want to deal with their "virus".

Yeah, I know. It's just that Microsoft has enough money already and doesn't need mine.

It's the same as with music. I've had to throw away legal copies of XP on broken laptops. Now I'm expected to buy it again and again and again? I don't think so.
