Quite likes the Command Line, but not with chips you understand.

Erm, you may have to forgive me, but...

I've just re-installed windows and have set WU to "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them".

Upon browsing the updates to be download and installed I noticed KB905474( Windows Genuine Advantage) was not listed....

Any ideas whats going on...? Am I the first to see this??

Just curious.. :sneaky:

M$ decided not to continue with WGA?

Either that or it was installed automatically without your permission, check to see if WgaTray.exe and WgaLogon.dll are present on your system for verification.

No, it's gone. I just reinstalled tonight and updated through IE. There was no EULA for WGA and RemoveWGA didn't see anything to remove afterwards. On a WGA infected system, I ran RemoveWGA then went to Windows Update in IE. There was no offer to put it back on. I rebooted, still no offer. Let's hope the next version of MRT will remove WGA.

Yeah, I checked and WGA is not available on the Windows Update site. Good. Hopefully goodbye forever and good riddance.
