6 Click End Process. When you are prompted for a confirmation to terminate the
process, align the End Process confirmation box with the previous Delete File
confirmation box, or at least have them close together. Do this because you'll need to
do both actions quickly at least within 2 or 3 seconds.
7 Click Yes in both boxes, quickly. Click on Yes on the Task Manager prompt (to
end the process) and then quickly press Yes on the deletion confirmation (to
delete the actual file). Youll need to repeat this if you miss it.

Click Start, then Run. Type "system32" (without quotes), and click OK.
Find system32 manually by clicking Start, My Computer, (C:) (or whatever your
drive letter is), WINDOWS, then system32.
2 Hide extensions. In system32, go to Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab,
View, and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" if it is not already.
3 Check to make sure the window that comes up has a full screen of various
files. The files are in alphabetical order, which makes it easier to locate the
specific file.
Right click on a blank space in system32 and select New, then Text Document.
Leave the text document empty and label it "WgaLogon.dll" (without quotes).
Press Enter (on your keyboard).
You may get a warning from the above step that says, "If you change a file
name extension, the file may become unusable. Are you sure you want to
change it?" Click Yes on this warning.
7 Immediately open Task Manager. You can do this three different ways:
8 Click on the process tab and select WgaTray.exe. Click on End Process.
Note that if you take longer, do not panic! All that will happen is that
WgaTray.exe will keep reappearing in the processes list (i.e. you won't be able
to delete it as required). To remove the notifications after this, return to
system32. You will find two files:WgaLogon.dll.bak (the one you renamed) and
an Application Extension (0KB) called WgaLogon.dll. Delete the Application
Extension, rename WgaLogon.dll.bak to WgaLogon.dll and repeat the process
at a greater speed, from deleting WgaTray.exe from system32.
9 Restart your computer when finished. All the notification messages should be
gone.
