How to disable Microsofts new Anti-Piracy Program

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

   Strange, couldn’t find the “WgaTray.exe” on my Task Manager.
