Editor's Review of RemoveWGA

There is growing concern that the anti-piracy feature in Windows XP called Windows Genuine Advantage presents a security and privacy risk because it "phones home" at regular 14-day intervals. Others call WGA a "nuisance."

RemoveWGA blocks Windows Genuine Advantage from reporting back to Microsoft. The tool alerts you if the WGA notification is active on your system, stops WGA from activating when you turn your PC on, and removes it.

For the record, Microsoft says Windows Genuine Advantage is designed to check whether you are running a licensed copy of Windows XP.
