I have to cime in here after reading numerous posts on numerous newsgroups
and blogs, and on Microsoft non helpful help areas,. etc etc, on the web you
get the pic.
Bottom line is Ive been trying to remove this "tool" for days now, and
have tried all of the conventional methods described and known to most folks
on the general and other xp groups...none have worked. I've used ones p osted
here and other places, and have even found the same inefetive "solutions" on
yutube still here.
What I am finding is not the same as many have described as their problems.
I am using a genuine version of xp BTW, and it has been validated many times
before I installed variuos updates. Right now I was interrupted by 5 windows
all with trick ways tso remove them eg cloe or xingn out but in odd places
etc. THis is really sick and past annoying.
I have done the registry bit ot no end and have done it correctly.
Even have obtained instructions to remove WGA at Microsoft only not this
one, it only works for test versins or some crap like that I forgot the
exact term... I have even gone back into registry after completing deletion
steps as is advized sincne it says that after removing folders/files from
registry at firsts two steps, ,it will still tryto come back...da da da da da
da......
So, what is the consensus? I'm not paying $30.00 I do not have I dont
even haver money to eat right now..for "help" from Microsoft. Does my problem
sound like this is a validation tool??? No way..this is a true absolutel
spywre ass others have said. It is If you were here seeing what is sgoign on
you would agree.
Am tired of searching and researching the net for the same old fixes none
work.
On those sites where folks had actual fixes, microsoft forced the people
to remove them from the site. You won't find them. Some sites and blogs have
been removed totally. Some left appologetic explanatins some didn't.
I BTW have triede teh restore method of removing WGA but of course that
didn't work either doign a restorer to a pooint in time when your windows
worked well asumingly...does not mean that it deletes any software or updates
that have been installed a restore does not and did not do this I found out
later on a group, it does not do it, but at leat I tried.
What I wonder is whether some folks who re providing these solutions have
actuallyt ried them andn whether or not they worked for them> There are many
different versions of WGA I have found so maybe these solutions work for some
not for others.
The latest, as you asked for I believe, is a version put out in late
September where the desktop wil turn black on not validlated users, and they
can get their screen backk for only an nhour at a taime when it will turn
black again I read this on Microsoft's response to complaints.
Again, I would liek to her from anyone who has had problems similar to mine
and not just validation issues> What the hell is goign on here? I need help
with this, as do many others. How are we going nto get this dastardly spyware
removed? It reports back to microsoft even after it validates a software, I
understand and that it reports stuff back to Microsoft repeatedly all day
long...what it reports Microsoft
Since WGA was installed, rue the day, it has replaced my homepage, and has
done so by inserting severl microsoft URLs so that even if I change it back
to COMCAST, for example it defaults back to this weird mmicrosoft antivirus
page. No one is askign me to valiiate my windows BTW, although many others
are having this issue I see.
I get pop ups in baloons at the bottom of my tool bar, I get many other
windows obscuring my work, in fact I am not able to do any work. If I could
describe to you the havoc goign on here you wouldn't beleive it but I am
trying. I am getting messages from microsoft that I possibly have a virus,
that my pc is running at 47@ etc etc. I am gettign many requeests to download
this obsure (choice o f 2) anti virus softwares...BTW I use ESET systems on
my pcs. I can't tell you how many windows I have to close if I step awy for a
second, and I am not able to get any work done whatsoever.
I've tried deleting all files from my system including sub folders, hidden
files/folders/ etc etc etc, and have gone the My Computer Route to delete
folders there, and have gone into my registry more times than I ever have in
my life with many computers. This is my desktop. If when I go to my vista
laptops I find WGAN on them, I will break down and cry. If this is the wrong
forum for this then please tell me where a valid place to find answers is.
I've been everyplace I can think of. This pc just was at Microcenter and had
everythign checked wasnot used for two months as I was very ill, and to come
backk to this is devastating honestly.
I hope someone comes up with some legit answers to this> I am tempted to
call the Boston consumer channel and let them coe video what is happening
here so everyone will know NO, do not download this...look at what might
happen to others as it has to me....Sorry this is so long and tha paragraphes
got screwed up. I will henc forth be considerably briefer. Cher (BIRDWISE)
