Remove Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications

Is your computer suffering from  "You may be a victim of software counterfeiting" or “This copy of Windows is not genuine” message on the bottom right corner of log-in screen? If yes, your copy of Windows XP is not validated, not genuine, counterfeit, unlicensed, pirated, illegal or unauthorized.

When you log on to a non-genuine copy of Windows XP, the following notification error message “This copy of Windows is not genuine” will pop-up on the logon process:

And a message as below will be displayed on the bottom right corner of the login screen. 

There can be two options that Microsoft allows to their users: 
1.  Get Genuine.
2.  Resolve Later.

Clicking on the resolve later option temporarily lets you login and use Windows with a balloon notification message in system tray.

To get rid of the WGA notifications that intends to remind you that your Windows is not validated, you can buy a validly licensed copy of genuine Microsoft Windows.

To bypass or disable the WGA notification warning messages we can do the following:
