Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) is an application that does not have an uninstaller. The application is designed to detect illegal/pirated copies of the Microsoft Windows operating system. I'm guessing you have an illegal copy (multiple installations w/ the same CD-KEY, cracked version from a website or a P2P network, bought from a vendor who duplicated the CD-KEY, etc...) or your system was flagged incorrectly by WGA as being illegal. In either case, contact Microsoft to resolve the issue. If it is an illegal copy, they'll work with you to make it legal. If it is flagging incorrectly, can help with that too.
