Microsoft has created an application that checks your Windows operating system to see if the copy of Windows you are using is genuine. If it is not, the application launches a "Genuine Microsoft Software Notification" pop-up alerting you that "This copy of Windows is not genuine." This has a purpose. However, many users have reported being flooded with the pop-up notification even when the copy of Windows they are using is genuine. If this happens to you, you can remove the genuine Microsoft software notification. Note that the instructions below apply to the Windows 7 operating system.
Press "Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Delete." Click on "Start Task Manager." The Windows Task Manager opens. Click on the "Processes" tab. Click on "wgatray.exe" and then click "End Process." Restart your computer. Press F8 continually while your computer is booting. The Advanced Boot Options menu will appear. Click on "Safe Mode" in the Advanced Boot Options menu. Click on the "Start" menu and then click on the "Search Programs and Files" box. Search for and delete the following files: (To delete a file, right-click on the file and select "Delete.") "C:\Windows\System32\WgaTray.exe"
"C:\Windows\System32\dllcache\WgaTray.exe" Click on the "Start" menu and type "regedit" into the "Search Programs and Files" box and press "Enter." The Windows Registry Editor opens. Locate the following registry entry in the Windows Registry Editor and delete it. To delete a registry entry, right-click on it and select "Delete." "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\WgaLogon"
