How to Stop Windows Genuine Notification Wizard

If you have a legitimate copy of Windows and get the Windows Genuine Advantage notification that many people complain about, you must remove the update through your system folder. Although you have the ability to ignore these notifications, they come right back to haunt you when you reboot your computer. Contact Microsoft about your WGA issue and remove the WGA notification wizard from your computer before the computer gets locked.
