The WGA Notification, which is a component that is installed onto the system. It attaches itself to the Winlogon so that it can validate the authenticity of the operating system every time you boot up.
The second component is an ActiveX Control; this is used to validate the licence of the operating system when the user attempts to download a Windows Update.

The WGA Notification is able to validate Windows XP/Vista/7 & 8 operating systems only. The ActiveX Control on the other hand, is able to validate all of the above including Windows 2000.

The WGA, when installed on your computer, will advertise the latest service packs for your operating system, this is especially the case with Windows XP based system. WGA was originally a voluntary system, which was changed to mandatory in July 2005.

The Installation Process

Whether or not the Windows genuine advantage validation tool installs on your system, depends on your Windows Update settings. In most cases, the tool will be downloaded automatically, then install itself when you next restart the computer. During the installation process, you may or may not be able to review the licence terms and choose whether or not to decline the update. If you choose to decline the install, then the operating system will never ask you to install the update again. Once the license terms and installation process has been completed, you will be greeted with the occasional update, relevant to your version of Windows.

After the installation is complete, the tool will run its validation process in order to verify whether or not your copy of Windows is genuine. If your copy of Windows is found not to be genuine, then when you next restart the computer, you will be presented with various notifications. The notifications will inform you that your copy of Windows is not genuine and then present you with the appropriate option(s) to resolve it. However, if your operating system passes the validation process, then you won’t be greeted with any notification.

If you opt to download the Windows genuine advantage validation tool directly from the Microsoft Download Center, then you will be taken through the typical installation process to apply the update. This will include you having to review and agree to the licence terms of the update. However, once the tool has been installed onto your computer, there’s no install shield that you can run to uninstall it.

When WGA Validation Fails

On systems running Windows Vista without any install service packs, failure of WGA validation has a much harder felt impact then on other platforms. In addition to the notifications, that persistently show up, across the screen, and the disabling of non-critical updates, the Windows genuine advantage validation tool also disables Windows Defender, Windows Aero and Windows ReadyBoost. The user is then given a certain period of time to authenticate Windows Vista, after which the entire operating system will be disabled, restricting the user to using the system in a reduced functionality mode. However, this does not occur on Windows Vista systems that have Service Pack 1 running on them, instead, the user will simply be inundated with notifications.

On Windows XP Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows Vista Business, the user will initially be presented with a pop-up notification. However, once the user boots into the system, they’ll find that the wallpaper has been changed to black, and on the lower right hand side of the screen, there will be a notice, which cannot be removed. However, the user will still be able to interact with objects in and around the notices. Windows XP users will also be presented with a notification on the login screen. However, the user will be able to change the wallpaper to whatever he/she likes, but after an hour has lapsed, it will revert back to the black wallpaper.

Below, I’ve outlined a number of methods that you can use to remove the Windows genuine advantage validation tool, once it has been installed and is running on your computer.
