LeeMicrosoft has release an update to their Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) notification.
“With this release we’ve improved the design making it easier to install the update and to stay up to date with the latest release of WGA. This release focuses on the product edition that we find is most often counterfeited, Windows XP Professional,” said Alex Kochis who is the senior product manager of Windows Genuine Advantage.
“This update includes the latest validation information including recently stolen or misused product keys and other information,” he added.

Not gong to fix this with the typical Microsoft Band-aid either folks….
I see several pirated copies of XP Pro every week, and all this effort with WGA is still useless if the Auto Updates have been disabled.
how is this possible if the user has updates turned off?
What difference would it make, unless the newest WGA version operates like a trojan and bypasses the AutoUpdate system?
