i weant to remove genuine microsoft software from

IF you mean the "Genuine Microsoft Software" notification that keeps popping up you can try this:

Following three simple steps now you can get rid of the pesky and sometimes buggy Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) notifications:
1. Reboot Windows in safe mode (hold the f8 key while booting and you will get the option to boot in safe mode) and then:

2. Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and search for wgalogon folder and delete it. You should backup up the registry beforehand, in case somethiong goes wrong.

3. In your windows directory search for files wga* and delete them.


You are done!

Now reboot back normally and continue your work. Windows Genuine Advantage will not bother you anymore.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

IMPORTANT: This involves editing the Windows Registry. Make a registry backup by selecting "Export" from the "File" drop down menu in "RegEdit". Selecting a name to save the file under. Make sure "My Computer" highlighted in software so the entire Registry is backed up.

Never make changes to the registry without making a backup copy of it first.

If your system misbehaves run "RegEdit" and select "Import" from the "File" menu. Navigate to where you stored the backup of the registry on your hard disk and restore the previous version before you made the changes.

Because of this, spyware, malware, and adware will often bury their own files into your Windows registry so that they automatically launch every time your start up your PC.

Because your registry is such a key piece of your Windows system, you should always backup your registry before you make any changes to it. Editing your registry can be intimidating if you’re not a computer expert, and when you change or a delete a critical registry key or registry value, there’s a chance you may need to reinstall your entire Windows operating system. Make sure your backup your registry before editing it.
  1. Select your Windows menu “Start,” and click “Run.” An “Open” field will appear. Type “regedit” and click “OK” to open up your Registry Editor.
  2. Registry Editor will open as a window with two panes. The left side Registry Editor’s window lets you select various registry keys, and the right side displays the registry values of the registry key you select.
  3. To find a registry key, such as any MalWarrior 2007 registry keys, select “Edit,” then select “Find,” and in the search bar type any of MalWarrior 2007’s registry keys.

If you’re not sure if the MalWarrior 2007 DLL file is located in a particular directory, enter “dir” in the command box to display a directory’s contents. To go one directory back, enter “cd ..” in the command box and press “Enter.”
