Where to find wgatray

Come for the solution, stay for everything else. Welcome to our community! I have a client with a business computer running Windows 7 Pro that came installed on his computer. He has had this PC for about 3 year with no problems. Last week he downloaded a program and the problems began. He got infected by malware and some trojans. Once we got that cleaned up everything seemed fine for a few days and then he started getting messages that his copy of Windows isn't genuine and his background turned black.

This installation of the operating system came with his computer. I check the activation status and it shows that windows is active and genuine. In the course of trying to repair this problem I discovered that there is no instance of wgatray.

Katrina, you should run regedit under safemode, and make sure that you scan the entire directories twice after deleting and before restarting back into normal mode.

If the problem still persists, then I can hop onto crossloop and do it for you. Sorry for the delayed response, I have been ridiculously busy! One small problem, I think after running Windows Update it makes it come back! I am using the website to do my updates though. I have an odd question for you. I am having something called wgatray. Has this happened to anyone else?

I am just trying to figure out if it should be deleted from there and how to get rid of it and maintain my ability to update. Hold on a minute — is this what is causing my computer to shut down suddenly with a blue screen?

I keep getting this every once in a while with a win32sys. Has this anything to truly do with this WGA at all? I know my system is a legit one and i have automatic update on so that i get all the relevant updates etc. However, my question is, if i delete this wga. Thanks a lot man! I have zone alarm and it said wgatray. I had a problem with the office but not with windows. My windows is good but this appered as if i opened up any office software like word, excel powerpoint or even outlook.

I have done all as above but this thing still pop up when ever i opened all the office software. Is there other way to disable it.. Need responed.. Thank you so much for the simple walkthrough. Been trying everything else that my modest knowledge with computer allowed without more than temporary removal. I now yours and it seems to work, so thanks again for saving me from this wee bit annoying wgatray! This did not work for me, it is not only for Windows XP or Vista but office I removed all, check 3 times, rebooted, and it was back Must have a new hidding place!!

Even with all patches from Windows Update, this works to remove the annoying Windows Genuine Advantage, depending on your method of searching registry, you can accidently leave traces of the program, which will re-populate if youve left one instance of it running, thats why I recommend safemode when doing this. I went over this several times to ensure I did everything correctly.

What i did notice is that the only registry it found was on the first search, for wgatray. Pushing F3 found no more, and neither was there any for the other terms searched for. Here is a lucky screenshot of WgaLogon. I tried this simple move and worked so far : cut the 2 files from system32 : wgatray and wgalogon and move them elsewhere. You can do it even though they are active processes. After that you can delete the 2 files. Sometimes you can rename the offending files without moving them.

Just add a number to the file name so you can undo it if Windoze refuses to operate. God save us from nanny software that decides how we will use our computers. Rebooting means restarting your computer. Losing all your files only happens when you reinstall your OS. That is an entirely different thing compared to rebooting. You can not accidentally reinstall your OS either.

The disc to do that costs dollars. Of course file loss can happen when you reboot, but only if you leave for example Microsoft Word running with an unsaved document in it that you just typed. Close every window on your screen, not in your office and save every document you worked on in your session before rebooting. The simple rename of the 2 system32 files seems to have done the job.

So far anyway. Thanks for the info. Thanks for great advice. Naushad k. Thanks for all your good guidance, it seems to have worked for many. I had to run through these steps three times before I found all related files thanks man. Hey buddy this did not work for me, when I did Find for all three items it did not find any of them?

The annoying little bastard happened to me today. I was so furious I considered throwing my laptop out of the window. But I found your guide and followed your instructions. So, thank you very much. My computer keeps shutting down by itself whenever I try to search wgatray. So I went in normally and I started to type in WGA in the Find box on regedit and there are so many files and folders to delete!

Reboot Wgatray. I tried everything- ran it in safemode- went through regedit. Any suggestions? Click HERE. Antivirus will always try to block it, disable and retry, also your CPU is waaaay to hot, but some system specs would greatly help, what kinda of CPU , operating system?
