WGA installed somehow. I'd like to remove it. Help appreciated.
Hi all,
I don't have a problem, per se. But...
On principle only, I have avoided installing genuine advantage, because I see it as an insult, and frankly, I don't trust Microsoft. WGA can't help me... it can only hurt.
Somehow, after a BSOD, when rebooting the system, Win 7 decided to install all available updates, including WGA.
My system seems fine, and I understand that it installed in the KB971033 update.
I've uninstalled the update, but I'm guessing that's not enough. MS want's this installed at all costs, and I hear tales that it's hard to make it go away.
I don't want to ruin my perfectly good Win 7... by hacking at WGA. Is there a safe way to remove this update on a fully legitimate system?
I see a lot op people talking about RemoveWAT and such... but that all looks risky to me, and probably meant to support illegit users instead of me.
Thank you for your kind help.
(I don't think this applies... but just following instructions:)
