Get SP3 manually and save it to your desktop. Download at least Internet Explorer 7 if not Internet Explorer 8. What can I do to make it Guniune again? This thread is locked.

The more I read on this and the more I have to deal with it, I have come to the conculsion that this is the worst virus I've ever had to deal with.

A simple class action law suit might be the fix. Most hackers who creat these kind of virus are punished through the legal system. Melhacker, thank you so much for your patch. It worked very nicely on my comp and all is gone now! Keep up the good work. Choose a date before you updated your Windows and start the restoring process. Just following the instructions Take couple of minutes and you are done! That easy it is! By the way, I tryed all version u guys posted in here, but non of them was work for me.

Untill I figured out this one. I did on Windows XP,but different systems could be work if they have this option. Hi again, Now, I just read it some people already try it this option. Anyway, I posted earlier my correction, but I don't see yet so, I will repeat.

That is why, I do not think it will be come back! You have smart ideas by the way, what I haven't try yet! Next time! The Melhacker patch is the hammer. Download it, run it, and wga is gone Thanks Mel. I have just used Melhacker's fix.

On start up I have had a message about a file called wgatmp can't remember the suffix The message asked if I wanted to run it as it did not have signature. I opted for run. Is that the correct thing to do? If so I will tell it not to ask me in future. This is what I did, Windows update installed the offending update and I hated it on site, I then did a system restore and found I had to restore two days back, OK I did that, I then waited for the windows update, then when it was finished, I right clicked on the yellow icon for the update and checked the box to not allow this particular update to install then checked the box do not notify me again for this update, simple, though I am unsure I will recieve updates in future doing this, but I didnt recieve any warning that I wouldn't recieve any.

This is how to get sp2 if you want it, but don't have valid windows xp: Go to microsoft auto update, turn 'em on, and sit back and relax. All of these fixes work until you reboot. Then windows Prompts you that you have updates to install via Windows Automatic Updates.

Then it simply reinstalls the WGA Software and updates, then your back to square one again. This works for me to disable the logon screen bug, the systray remover is easy 1: Goto windows update site and download the full toolkit, the one from the automatic updates doesn't work correctly.

I am trying to install Windows Media player 11 on a computer that is not genunine. It tells me that it is not genunine. How can i install it? Thanks PS I have tryed the legitcheckcontrol file. Just extract the files from wmpwindowsxp-xenu. I just used melhacker's link and now my computer won't boot at all Good work guy! Then reboot with Windows and enjoy. I have an actual legit copy of windows XP Pro. I have also downloaded windows Media center edition. With my legit system, windows update must be reading a file that tells the site that my system is legit.

Is there a file i can copy over or over write on my non-legit system, so that when ms-updates reads my system it also thinks this is a legit system too??? After that non-genuine becomes genuine. Changing the binary factory switches the system from being non-genuine to genuine. Thank you all I can tell you that it worked for me and nothing bad happens if you delete the registry item.

I found the best fix of all Get a Mac. Just trying to help ;. Its funny. All I had to do was got to the system32 folder and rename wgalogon. Nag completely gone and it doesn't renistall up OS load. AS it automatically reloads. On a whim I renamed the above DLL and had sucess. But I also wnt into safe mode after the fact anddeleted the wgatray. There wasn' one in the software distrubtion folder and there is no dllcache folder. I located Wgalogon. This really works!!

If U want to get rid of the update sheild, then go to the MS home site and click the message that "don't notify me again" it is gone like the wind. I have found another way to disable this WGA garbage, by changing the file permissions so the files used by WGA cannot be accessed at all, not even by Windows.

Please note that the following only works if the partition on which Windows is installed is formatted NTFS: 1. Reboot in Safe Mode 2. Right-click on WgaTray. Click the "Security" tab 5. Select the next entry in the "Group or user names" list, and repeat step 5.

Click OK. You will be shown a warning saying how Deny overrides Allow. Click the Yes button. Repeat steps for the files "WgaLogon. Repeat steps for the files "WgaTray. Reboot the computer Assuming the permissions were set correctly on all necessary files, you should now be enjoying WGA-free bliss.

System Restore worked for me. It's been six days now, and it has not returned. I restored the system to 10 days before. Updates can be obtained with Autopatcher. Also, if users download and install the beta 2 version of Vista using the key provided by e-mail when they register to download, it will validate. Updates for other operating systems can be downloaded and saved using Vista.

Well, After I installed patches including wga on a genuine XP professional, my system failed to return from the sleep mode and only reboot could help. That happened every time pc was getting into powersave mode, not to mention that it became much slower to boot. Finally, I got a blue screen for the first time and after that I could not boot. I removed it and system works like a charm again.

This is why i'll be purchasing a macbook with intel core duo come december, I'll use osX for surfing the web and install my bootleg XP to run my other bootleg programs Be aware that i am in a third world country that the only means of knowledge is to persevere and find ways.

I'm just glad that macs nowadays are starting to reach out to the masses and offer reasonably priced computers. Restart 5. Hey everyone! I was almost cotemplating the possibility of thinking about switching to Mac shudders , just because of how Microsoft are behaving with this. Can you help us improve?

Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. Not enough information. Not enough pictures. Any additional feedback?
