RemoveWga 1.2 removes the Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications tool

RemoveWga has been released in a new version today and I thought it would be a nice idea to post a quick article and download link about this nice anti wga tool. RemoveWga enables you to remove the Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications which sends data to Microsoft regulary. The question is why would the wga notifications tool do this if Microsoft once verified that you are running a legit copy of windows ? There is no possible reason that I can think of, enter RemoveWGA.
The following items have been changed in the new RemoveWGA 1.2 utility:

- Now uses the “RunOnce” registry entry instead of “Run” (starts sooner)
- Added a clean removal procedure for the final WGA notification update
(The final WGA notification is now removed cleanly without any BSOD)
- If every removal procedure fails (possibly for futur WGA versions), offers the brutal removal procedure

RemoveWGA only disables the notification part of Windows Genuine Advantage, it does not touch the validation part. No downloads need the notification part as of now, they only check the validation part.

Please read “Preventing the prompt to reinstall WGA notification update” if you want to prevent that windows urges you to update the nofitication part of wga again.
