Re: Windows Genuine Advantage Nightmares

Neither do I but there is somethings that we can do about it.

I have Norton Internet Security on my computer and I have it prompt me each time a new program tries to access the internet or DNS server.

For instance, after WGA was installed I got a pop up saying "wga.exe is attempting to access the internet, what do you want to do? Block once? Block Always? Allow Once? Allow Always?"

Chose "Block Always" and never had a problem with it since. It just sits quitely not being able to do anything.
