WGA Notification remove In XP (Window Genuine Notification Advantage)

If your version of windows XP is pirated then after installing windows update from microsoft website you are prompted a pop-up in the notification area of taskbar. That is "windows genuine advantage notification. This copy of Microsoft Windows XP is not genuine”. At the same your desktop wallpaper is change by black screen. Such as :-





That is very disgusting for any user. You can remove it more easily by following this procedure :-

First of all remove a subkey from registry called wgalogon. That registry location is


"HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\Winlogon\Notify\Wgalogon



select wgalogon from console and right click then choose delete. After deleting the subkey restart your computer and start with safe mode. Please press f8 to start the computer with the safe mode after the computer restarted. After running the computer go to the "My Computer" and then select tools then select  "Folder Option". Now you will appear the "Folder Option" interface. Now navigate the "View" tab and check the "Show hidden file and folder" and uncheck "Hide protected operating file system (Recommended)" opiton. then delete the following file from C:\windows\system32 location
wgalogon.dll
wgatray.exe
legitcheckcontroll.dll.

After delete the above file then restart your computer

The wgatray.exe process makes the check for genuine windows software. Wgatray.exe runs in the background to validate your Genuine Windows XP software against a list of serial numbers that are blacklisted by Microsoft.

Note:- When you implement this task please confirm you are not connected to internet. Sometime it create problem and must delete subkey from registry before the login in safe mode.

If any problem for completing this task, please try to end the process called "wgatray.exe" in taskmanager. To end the process "wgatray.exe" go to the "taskmanager", than select "end process" in the bellow from "taskmanager".




Thanks.
