Can i get rid of "Your copy of xp is not genuine" without buying the genuine copy which cost more than $100?

Question

Each time i turn on my PC, i get "Your copy of Window XP is not genuine". How can i get rid of this message, without buying a genuine copy?

Answer 1

Yes, you can.
RemoveWGA enables you to remove the Microsoft "Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications" tool, which is calling home and connect to Microsoft servers every time you boot. Once the WGA Notification tool has checked your OS and has confirmed you had a legit copy, there is no decent point or reason to check it again and again every boot.

I don't believe you admitted to using a pirated version of Windows! Pay for what you use along with the other millions that use pirated software and maybe it will become cheaper for all of us! If you think about it, you are stealing someone else's product. I think the best comparison would be shoplifting.

also turn off auto updates to download them when you decide, if there are updates choose custom and make sure avantage tool is not highlighted so as not to download it again in the future.
