Windows Geniune Advantage (WGA), Microsoft latest anti-piracy measure, causing headaches for Windows XP users who have been good about loading the latest security patches for Windows and Internet Explorer (IE). Why? Two reasons:

(1 downloads) First experiments using WGA, and you may receive an incorrect error message stating that valid product keys for your genuine version of Windows XP are invalid. It is not surprising that an earlier version of WGA was hacked within 24 hours.To fix a computer technician anywhere with another change to Windows software, they require either the problem or a way to have confronted find around this. Thus, another hack was born. Why WGA initially reported that there are valid product key invalid? Basically, because there is a problem they did not come to know how to interpret differently. The problem is:

(2) You must run again to allow for the WGA ActiveX. ActiveX is Microsoft technology that integrates interactiveContent in Web pages, such as Java applets. WGA can not run without ActiveX. Unfortunately, ActiveX hackers discovered vulnerabilities in the technology and use them to their own malicious software can run on your computer can be used. As a result of the Windows updates that you ran in the not too distant past from ActiveX to turn this vulnerability block. There's the rub: you can not run Windows Update to check your license with WGA, which is not until you are re-exported to activate ActiveXand lower your browser's security so you can download new security patches! Good idea!

Microsoft's support site (in typical "Micro Speak") makes you aware that your system may be exposed to and that you want to re-activate the security settings of your browser when you help secure Microsoft, that you are not stealing Windows:

Important These steps may increase your security risk. These steps may also make your computer or your network more vulnerable to attack by maliciousUsers or by malicious software such as viruses. We recommend the process described in this article allow to run programs as they create, or to use specific program capabilities. Before you make these changes, we recommend you to the risks to assess the implementation of this process for your environment. If you decide to implement this process, take any appropriate additional steps to protect your system. We recommend that you use this featureProcess only if you need this process really is.

Translation:

CYA We designed WGA to run away from ActiveX technology, software components, which we know will make your computer vulnerable to attacks because we wrote ActiveX (that's right, we've done it) and left a lot of holes in it, which exploited could be. Basically, you must re-enable ActiveX and make your system vulnerable, so that WGA, as we designed it to work. Then and only then you can download the latest Windows –News to run your system to make it "safer." But first, we recommend that you decide for yourself that you really need to run WGA, so that you can not come back and sue us, if you will work computer infected by a virus while you are using WGA to to verify your license, we can also confirm if your computer was purchased with Windows, of course, because we are 99% of the market (do tee hee). But no matter how we hope to jump through hoops, and you always make again prove you own itMicrosoft has since "antitrust law." Forget Oh, and when you're done, not on your system to "safe" again by clicking on what you use to block ActiveX or our cool WGA ActiveX control that is basically just a load switch to that ActiveX turned on and if we feel like it, your system to more security risks so that more security patches until someone figures out work that they are not loaded.

The earlier version of WGA was called into question, and I expect that the currentVersion even if it is not already. As usual, get tech-savvy people around measures to protect intellectual property rights and less technically savvy people are left to draw out their hair to figure out ways to undo what does run Windows programs on "how they are conceived, . Microsoft continues to prove that it needs better designers. They can not seem to survive without ActiveX, even if other programs just fine on it. (Mozilla Firefox does not use ActiveX on the Web site to enableInteractivity. That does not mean it is 100% sure, but I've never been lower security settings on Firefox patch.)

Microsoft needs to get rid of WGA. It is totally ridiculous, lower security settings, patches need to increase security, run, and in this case Microsoft wants you to do yours, not entirely in their favor. Microsoft claims that software piracy is costly for all, and so anti-piracy measures will help. Or may not be true, but it's not the point. WGA isJust a bad anti-piracy measure. It is a backdoor approach that does not stop or even slow piracy act. Both are genuine and counterfeit versions of Windows are still without the updates, that is:

Users who know they will have a counterfeit version is not checked, will not run the updates and will still enjoy the use of Windows;

Users with a counterfeit version that they unknowingly purchased through a disreputable OEM provider, online auction or software pirate will only considerWindows is broken, will give further updates, always curse Microsoft, and possibly buying a Mac. In any case, very few will ever realize that they add have a counterfeit version and are hard to inflated profit margin from Microsoft, and

Licensed users of the product and geniune valid product keys will have to continue to prove ownership if they want to run the necessary updates and have more time and money to spend troubleshooting what Microsoft is protecting its own interests, notalways curse Microsoft, and eventually buy a Mac.

Apply anti-piracy measures at the source, not the end user. Microsoft may achieve better results by a controlled production of its software products on an assembly line. However, the company has greedily. If you make the market with an onslaught of product you want, as far as possible available to take shortcuts. Now, Microsoft backed down in an attempt to recoup its perceived losses. It is toocan be shortsighted and selfish, and even lose money in the process. Intends By implementing WGA and other user-end anti-piracy measures that affect Microsoft software piracy little – and increasingly antagonizes its paying customers.

Imagine driving down the street in your car and is pulled over every other block, so you can show your car title. "Yes, I admit it. Yes, I admit it. Yes, I admit it." Microsoft is rolling updates on the second Tuesday of each month as needed. Virtuallyevery second Tuesday of each month, you need to lower your Internet security only way one can say "yes, I admit it."
