That's BS Carey! Which of the 12 !!! different methods don't work ?
Does this one not work too ?

The ?Windows Genuine Advantage Notification? (KB905474) cannot be
uninstalled by Add/Remove Program in Control Panel by default, contrary to
the claim in the knowledge base article. To enable the removal of KB905474
WGA Notification tool, follow the below steps:
Note: It seems like it?s not possible to uninstall WGA Notifications from
Add/Remove Program. Cobolhacker has details on why KB905474 cannot be
uninstalled. Suggested steps to ?uninstall? are search and delete all
WgaTray.exe and WgaLogon.dll files in your boot drive (if you using search,
check the ?Search system folders?, ?Search hidden files and folders? and
?Search subfolders? checkboxes), delete all the register keys in the
following tree: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows NT
\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\WgaLogon, and to remove the entry from
Add/Remove Programs list, delete the registry key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WgaNotify. With
uninstallation, WGA Notifications will try to install again next time.
