    Thank you for this great WGA remover patch! It’s easy to run, and what’s matter the most, it works!

    I tried many many ways to remove WGA from my PC, none of them worked.

    Why would anyone want Windows Genuine Advantage installed? Too bad it comes when you try to update Windows.

    Well, you can choose “customize” then uncheck WGA, and you won’t have to remove it after.

    After all, thank you for the patch guys!

    It’s permanent fix, unless you “re-install” Windows Genuine while updating the Windows.

    To avoid this, make sure you select “custom install”, and uncheck Windows Genuine Advantage as mentioned by 3tripple few posts above yours.

    I can assure it’s working as I have AVG installed, and didn’t report anything.

    thank you so much.. I tried like 10 cracks and none of them worked!

    Unlike most of your writers here, when I try to install wga remover I also get a Trojan virus

    March 21st, 2009 at 02:19 | #21

    @Vernon Johnson

    It’s probably false alarm, as for most patches or cracks. I ran this remover days I go, and it worked fine. WGA was removed after I rebooted.

    This fix was a life safer, after reading all the manual ways there was no way I would have been able to do it. Many thanks to the founder / designer.

  23. tester
    March 23rd, 2009 at 15:11 | #23

    FixExe, thanks a lot, this remover works well. After trying to install / unzip, I also got warning message about Trojan virus from AVG. It made the process stopped suddenly. After scan the unzip files and no virus found, I manually move the files into system32 folder in safe mode. I reboot again and finally WGA was removed!

  24. March 23rd, 2009 at 15:31 | #24

    Thank you @tester for positive feedback on this.

    It’s annoying how much time you need to spend before you find a working fix.

    Thank you, and I really hope I won’t need to deal with WGA ever again.

    HI.

    I tried to install the tool but everytime when I try to run the file windows gives me a error report and close the window.. (en wants me to send an error report to microsoft.. )

    Is there another way to get this tool working.

    (sorry for my bad English.. it is not my main language).

    I tried only on XP and worked.

  33. Boomer
    April 2nd, 2009 at 05:36 | #33

    I tried it and the AGV came up with the Trjan warning as well. I am running Vista so I guess it is not compatible with that?

  34. Vitaliano
    April 2nd, 2009 at 10:43 | #34

    @Boomer

    Boomer, it’s false alarm, because of a patch included. You have nothing to worry about, there is no virus or any malicious code.

    I just cannot wait to rid this WGA curse from my pc once and for all. But is this WGA remover free or do you have to pay for it?

    I downloaded it, but couldn’t run it.

    Please can someone help me get rid of this curse!!!

  45. SuperWise
    April 15th, 2009 at 20:32 | #45

    @Tazzy

    WGA remover is free to use. You only need to extract the files before you can run removing tool.

  46. Tazzy
    April 16th, 2009 at 15:35 | #46

    I downloaded the WGA remover, but still don’t know how to use it. When I double click on WGA Remover, a box opens, then I don’t know what to do next.

    Please can someone guide me step by step in how to delete WGA from my pc. I really, really want to get rid of this nightware. I just cannot wait it to be gone forever.

    Cheers

    Hello,

    Happen to pop by through wiki trying to solve my little prob. Lucky its not my Windows that has it but it does it with Microsoft office. I was wondering if this would work for that?

  48. SuperWise
    April 20th, 2009 at 10:02 | #48

    @Banana

    WGA Remover should work no matter what was does Windows Genuine Advantage appear.

  49. Antje

    Can you confirm whether it will work for SP2 and SP3 for those in doubt? Cheers.

    May 6th, 2009 at 12:02 | #61

    @mitch

    You could simply read comments above you. It’s a false alarm as for any other crack or patch. Remover works fine with no issues.

    May 6th, 2009 at 21:01 | #62

    @TraceMe
    For most it worked perfect, for me and a couple of others it did not. It’s still there in my backround…..Taunting me. Trust me, I think I need step-by-step help to rid of this Demon. I know some others would be thank-ful as well. Thanks so much for your time!!! :)

  63. mitch
    May 6th, 2009 at 21:33 | #63

    OK, I found out how to do it!!! This is not described in the top section. For all of you who try the crack and after you run it it ses virus. This is what you do.

    1. Download crack.

    2. Reboot computer in safe mode. {by holding F8 on start up.)

    3. select your profile to log in-to. (the profile with the crack.)

    4. And then run the crack.

    5. It will get rid of BAD FILES and reboot on it’s own.

    GAME OVER – Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA)!!!!! :)

  65. PJ
    May 23rd, 2009 at 17:50 | #65

    I made two attempts to get this to work…..thought I had it launching from Safe Mode….but still got the WGA screen upon reboot. Perhaps this is because I NEVER said ok to the initial frisking. Anyway I gave up and said ok to the check but then said I Do Not Agree to the terms and got a message that said the update would not be installed….rebooted and no more WGA prompt. This is great! And I hope I have no more invasions of my privacy.

    This *!#@ WGA Notifier recently started showing up…but I HAVEN’T installed it & glad I didn’t, after reading the horror stories here! Instead, I’ve been clicking & X’ing out of it. And, as you folks know: the friendly but fiendish WGA notifier KEEPS COMING BACK, every time the computer is turned on — Asking to be installed; What should I, We Do to Stop this ? Is the Best advice — to choose “customize” install then uncheck WGA, as described by 3tripple (Above Posts #6 & 11)

    Or…is there a Better way to stop this Microsoft Harassment of it’s customers?

  71. Jer
    June 11th, 2009 at 17:58 | #71

    Just installed SP3 & WGA notification nag appears at startup – but apparently WGA has NOT yet been installed.

    Best to permit WGA install & then run remover?

  72. Opera
    June 11th, 2009 at 23:44 | #72

    I was wary of this fix at first, but I had tried everything but deleting stuff out of my registry and I didn’t want to do that. It worked perfectly! Did not pop up an alert in my antivirus program either.

  73. sdl99
    June 12th, 2009 at 08:09 | #73

    thanx, it worked.
    Is my windows genuine now and can I now download softwares from microsoft’s websites?

  74. Reza
    July 7th, 2009 at 20:02 | #74

    Did not work for me, WHY?

    i first tried to run in normal mode, then when the microsoft IE pops up, it says: “validation incomplete”, so i tried to run wgaremover in safe mode, and than the IE pops up is says “validation succesfull!” so, than i reBoot, but the Windows Genuine Message is still there :(

    anyone knows to fix this?

    Guys who are reporting trojans or whatever viruses are totally newbies. You could know that every path, crack, keygen is false reported as a virus.

    WGA Remover works like a charm, and it’s not infected no matter some people might report so.

    I had the same issue. I clicked “next” and then refused to accept the EULA. After pressing “next” again I was allowed to click cancel. Next time I booted it was gone.

  82. Les
    September 9th, 2009 at 03:53 | #82

    While the WgaRemover did just that, when I go to windows updates and start to download updates a window appears telling me that update cannot be installed! Is this something built in to the setup wizard or have I missed some salient point?

  83. September 11th, 2009 at 18:30 | #83

    This software worked like a charm, the only problem I had was that somehow after applying the ‘patch’, I couldn’t connect to the internet using my linksys wireless adapter. I simply rebooted my computer, and thank goodness now everything is working again.

    When I first used this tool for Office 2003, it seemed to work fine. After a restart the WGA reappeared when I started Office. I ran the tool again and it appeared to work, but when I closed then restarted Office, the WGA reappeared.

    It does not seem to work for Office 2003 on XP sp3

    March 1st, 2010 at 23:16 | #105

    This doesn’t work for me. I boot safe mode with networking, run the patch, but get the error ‘wgatray.exe not found’.. At the end when it says “You should see the following message appear: Validation Complete!”
    it opens IE and tries to validate, but the validation webpage has a ‘validate now’ button. I click it, it installs WGA, and the gives me the NOT VALIDATED page..

    What am I doing wrong?
