It can only hurt. Somehow, after a BSOD, when rebooting the system, Win 7 decided to install all available updates, including WGA. My system seems fine, and I understand that it installed in the KB971033 update. I've uninstalled the update, but I'm guessing that's not enough.

Hello Ryder, If you play with WGA, you're Windows is going to eventually if not immediately become not activated and found to be non genuine.

Without WGA, your Windows installation will be considered to be the same as an illegal copy.Oh. Well that would be a problem. I don't want to play with WGA in a bad way. I figure that if it legitimately is an option to install, then there should be a legitimate (and safe) way to undo the installation.

But I don't understand then. For, literally, years, I have not allowed the install. (I install all updates manually). If I have the option to not install. Then I don't see how MS could arbitrarily decide I'm not genuine. In that case, they would be using intimidation to force installation of unwanted code.

And I have a serious ethical issue with that.:/ Thank you, Brink. I always thought of it this way.

Now for the facts Please do not confuse WGA with the WAT update - WGA is the underlying technology while the update is an add-on that seeks to improve on the basic detection provided by WGA. Romanian Map Ets 2 Torrent. 1) Uninstalling the WAT update (KB971033) is simple - and RyderWSF has already done it, as evidenced by his(?) MGADiag report - use the option to uninstall it from Installed Updates, or run the manual command wusa /uninstall /kb:971033 in an elevated Command Prompt window. 2) the WAT update occasionally 'phones home' simply to update its knowledge of the latest hacks and cracks that MS posts (it may also send back unidentifiable details, if a non-genuine situation is found). 3) The WAT update is an add-on to the basic WGA system in Windows 7 only - and runs roughly every 90 days to check system integrity.
