angshuman Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 WGA can be deactivated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Where at? I have some..er...things I wouldn't like being seen by the head of a billion dollar corporation. :"> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In Internet Explorer: Tools/Internet Options/Programs Tab/Manage Add-Ons. In the list that appears in the window, look for Windows Genuine Advantage. Select it and click deactivate. Voil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Incidentally, I'm really liking IE7. I haven't used Firefox on my Windows box ever since it was released. Apart from a few rare rendering bugs on some websites, everything works exactly as it's supposed to. Sure, it's a Firefox ripoff, but a damn good one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I only allowed the genuine advantage tool to be installed on my computer so I could get IE7 in the first place. Wanted to try it out just for the heck of it (there's no way I'll leave FF in the long run though). So of course, IE7 refused to work on my system (crashed on startup).

It will take a lot for Microsoft to tempt me back to IE, whatever the version, and I don't care if my computer tells that to Microsoft every day of the week.

astr0creep Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Or you can just go to add/remove programs and uninstall it. Of course that takes away your ability to do a manual windows update as well as trying beta software like ie7 and such. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> WGA isn't in the programs list of the ADD/Remove control panel on my machine. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
