Re: An interesting twist on WGA



well it doesn't take a genius to figure out who wrote the program.
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.
