That only works with the pilot version - not the one that downloads now. I know - I fought that sucker today. Had to call Mickeysoft to get a new activation.

Any word on removing the current version? I did updates last night and made sure to avoid WGA....

From June 21 eWEEK.com Infrastructure Update; (links leading to)
http://www.firewallleaktester.com/removewga.htm I downloaded it and ran it approx. six/seven days ago. No ill effects.

Better read that page before you try it - that may only be for the pilot version. Look at known issue #3.

if you just want to get rid of the anoying pop up messages and the tray icon, you can simply use hijackthis to remove wgalogon.dll from global startup.
