Have you updated your PC and you find yourself in front of a screen full of pirated copy of Windows?
This is due to the fact that after upgrading you downloaded and installed the infamous Windows Genuine Advantage, that checks the validity of your Windows license.
If this occurs an irregularity of your serial then you installed the annoying nag-screen that reminds you to purchase a valid license of Windows.
But this can happen even if in fact your license is very regular, and to help readers with licensed operating system I decided to create a simple guide that lets you remove WGA and restore the PC in all its features.
First you have to know which version you have installed the WGA, to do so by using this utility that once launched, to provide a range of information including the version of your WGA. - Once you understand your "WGA version", search and download among the solutions below for your version.
- If you do not like your version you can download the latest solutions in the following list

Are you with so much hope! ILMI problem is this: thanks to your utility so my version WGA, I downloaded "documents" I have broken down and launched the writing ... nothing that my version is not genuine reappears. I tried to bring in "system 32" and run with istaller baht, leaving me the message: Error: The process 'WgaTray.exe' not found and the following: Unable to find legitcheckcontrol.dll.crk
Can not find wgatray.exe.crk
Can not find wgalogon.dll.crk
I also wanted to clarify that the window with my top vrsione WGA has written Blocked VLK. I refer to your great willingness to help me solve my case ... I'm a newbie! ... Maybe it shows! Thanks again
