Just checked Windows Update today and saw that there’s a new Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474) to install.

It seems like you can still continue downloading and installing other security updates even if you skip updating your Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474).
If you install the latest Windows Genuined Advantage Validation 1.5.540, it will only update 2 files which is LegitCheckControl.dll and WgaTray.exe. As for WgaLogon.dll, it still retains the old version 1.5.532.
The latest LegitCheckControl.dll is 557KB in size.



I’ve compared the LegitCheckControl.dll 1.5.540 with the previous version 1.5.532, and this new version looks like a complete update and not minor fix for the previous version. Take a look at the changed offset below. It reports 500,000+ offset differences.

I strongly believe that the the LegitCheckControl.dll Crack by DTCG won’t work for this version.

Seems like no matter how many versions of Windows Genuine Advantage Microsoft can release, crackers can crack it within minutes and it will be out in the internet less than a day. I manage to find ONLY one crack that removes the Windows Genuine Advantage notification nag and also allows you to use Windows Update. Please follow the simple 2 steps below.

1. Download WindowsXP-KB905474-x86-1.5.540.0-noWGA.exe
2. Run WindowsXP-KB905474-x86-1.5.540.0-noWGA.exe and it will automatically replace a cracked version of LegitCheckControl.dll to enable Windows Update and wgatray.exe and wgalogon.dll to disable the WGA notification nag.

Update: Found another WGA 1.5.540 crack by Muiz. The cracked LegitCheckControl.dll, WgaLogon.dll and WgaTray.exe is exactly the same as the 1st crack.
