1) Microsoft "Genuine Advantage" cracked in 24h: window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all'
AV sez, "This week, Microsoft started requiring users to verifiy their serial number before using Windows Update. This effort to force users to either buy XP or tell them where you got the illegal copy is called 'Genuine Advantage.' It was cracked within 24 hours."
Before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the address bar and press enter:
java script:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

It turns off the trigger for the key check.

2) open IE
menu tools/internet options
programs
manage additional modules (not sure about the translation Im using a french IE)
desactivate the module windows gernuine advantage
click ok, close all your explorer and ie windows
it's ok.

[edit]3 ways...

3)

goto

X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Windows Genuine Advantage\data

there is a file there:
"data.dat"
rename it to "data.dat.bak"

now create an empty file with the same name:
"data.dat"

Right-Click this file -> "Properties"
put a checkmark besides "Read-Only" and "Hidden"

[edit2]4 ways (lol)

:blink: I don't understand the big publicity about this "hack". Microsoft was sure, that this will be hacked in a few days or even in 24 hours. The main reason for starting "Genuine Advantage" was to tell users that they use a cracked version, which they bought from a person, who illegally sells winXP. Well, this "trick" helps you, if you use a cracked version of XP, but people should look on real security problems, not on an easy registration-check from microsoft <_<
I can't uninstall it, there seems to be some kind of "Uninstall Shield".

Exactly, it allows people who got tricked into buying a cracked version of windows xp to find out that their copy is illegal and what they should do about it.

Of course the fact that "windows xp pro" was written on the cd with a permanent marker should have given it away. But thats an entirely different issue.

this trick works great, and the thread is about to get to page 2 where no one will see it, so i'm just giving it a bump, excellent work on this find.

i've found an other way too,and it's the one i'm using since windows genuine has come out:
it's a modified dll to replace the original legitcheckcontrol.dll in win32 folder.
more info inside.

Aye, A mate of mine did this on his gentoo box :P I found it quite funny. Linux is a genuine Microsoft Product rofl.

I do find it quite funny how Microsoft trys and trys their best to prevent 'illeagle' copys of their OS from floating around So they introduce that web check.. and it gets exploited no sooner then when it came out.
