Re: Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool

WPA has Nothing to do with surfing habits. If your that paranoid then you
need to shut off your computer and find another hobby. WPA is designed to
check for a valid XP license. Why on earth would you think Microsoft even
cares what sites you browse? That just makes no sense at all!


My point of view is that it is spyware that reports what you have on your
machine, surfing habits, etc. to MS and is unconscionable and a *security
update* should appear that gets rid of the spyware.
