New workaround prevents Microsoft AntiPiracy check
When you access Microsoft Download Center or on the Microsoft Windows Update Web site, you are prompted to install an WGA ActiveX control (Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool) that performs a validation check to verify that your copy of Windows is genuine.
Microsoft recently updated the WindowsUpdate website that seems to break the previous WGA workaround scripts.
However, hackers have comeup with another solution - A new WGA Workaround User Script floating around called Windows Genuine Advantage Patcher (1.5.512.0) claims to circumvent validation checks for Microsoft Windows Updates and Microsoft Download Center.
The WGA byepass script works in four steps:
1. Download the latest Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130) from from Windows Update. Download and Install Now after you click Express or Custom. Reboot if prompted.
2. Disable the WGA Add-On
3. Dowload the validation patch for LegitCheckControl.DLL ver. 1.5.512.0 (WGA_Patch_1.5.512.0.exe - 14336 Bytes)
4. Go offline (disconnect), apply the wga patch and clear your IE Cookies, Temp and Cache folder.
P.S. Use at your own risk. We have not tested the procedure.
Also, the Automatic Updates feature is not affected by the WGA validation check. Therefore, you can use the Automatic Updates feature to make sure that you receive critical Windows updates.
