I'm running XP Pro SP3. When I open IE (I usually use SeaMonkey for
browsing) and go to the Windows Update page it says it needs to
install software. I select the Custom option but it still wants to
install Windows Genuine Advantage, which, if I recall, is not a good
thing. (I used to use WindizUpdate but that's no longer available.)
Should I let it install the WGA and then uninstall it later, or
leave it on? Or, better yet, is there another option to get the
necessary updates?
Thanks for any help.
WGA being a 'bad thing' is only an opinion usually propogated by the
extremely paranoid and those with illegitimate licenses.
Install WGA and continue with life normally like the millions of people
before you have done with no consequences or continue to 'fight the power'
and stop getting updates (or download them individually and install them one
at a time using the ISO images released each month or the individual MSI/EXE
files, etc.) Doesn't matter to me one way or another... ;-)
