A dig user named Manno posted this one liner over at digg.com and I thought it´s worth an article. I´am not able to test if it´s really that easy because a) my windows is legit and b) I´am not able to download the new program. Let me know if it works though. It is assumed that the “patch” is already installed, do the following:
- Run Task Manager
- Kill the WgaTray.exe Process
- Go to System32 folder
- Rename wgatray.exe and wgalogon.dll to something else
- Restart
- End of annoying messages
