I have no idea what you mean by this. The spyware referenced in the link has
nothing to do with WGA other than it uses the name to try and fool people
into thinking it's a legitimate service. I thought it was an interesting bit
of social engineering. You won't get the malware by downloading Windows
updates.

Probably the same people who cracked XPs activation code.
So Microsoft responds with WGA, the only problem I have
is that WGA continues to check and comes up as a download.
When I click on download update nothing happens. I hope I
don't get the malware.
