How do i remove a program called "Windows Genuine Software"?

Question

It recently showed up on my computer and i don't know how it got there, and i never downloaded anything like it. And I'm very ignorant when it comes to computers so i don't know anything.

Answer 1

You don't need to remove it. It's Windows Genuine Advantage Software. It's a microsoft application used to make sure you are running a genuine copy of Windows.

Answer 2

Windows downloaded it from Microsoft's website automatically as part of the usual search for bug fixes and security patches.

It has detected that your copy of Windows has been acquired illegally. You get rid of the warning by following the instructions it gives you and getting a licensed version of Windows.

Answer 3

dont worry, windows XP installs that all by itself. It's a good thing from microsoft update. your computer just uses updates to keep your computer safe and secure. it's not a problem at all.

Answer 4

go to add or remove programs in the control panel and click show updates the you will find it in the list click remov and it will be removed

Answer 5

It means wherever you got your computer from, it was installed with a bootleg copy of Microsoft XP. The only way to get rid of it (legally, that is) is to go and buy a legit copy. The main thing it will do to you is no longer give you updates from Microsoft, which are honestly useless for xp now anyway, it will annoy you with the popups.
