wgatray.exe runs in the background to validate your Genuine Windows XP software against a list of serial numbers that are blacklisted by Microsoft. If your system is running pirated XP, the wgatray process will show a pop-up warning - "This copy of Windows XP is not genuine" - this is no error or virus, its a reminder from Microsoft to go original. Though you can temporarily disable Windows Genuine Advantage notifications by removing wgatray.exe or wgalogon, this is never recommended since you will not be able to download important security updates and patches from Microsoft Updates website. If you are running a counterfeit or illegal version of Windows XP, rather than hunting for a wga workaround, just get the authentic GGK kit from Microsoft to convert your pirated XP into Genuine software by changing the XP product key - completely legit way to make Windows genuine and you need not reinstall your Windows XP.

Too often it seems so called experts on FOX and other infotainment network outlets stereotype “hackers” and sensationalize “hacking,” so my goal with this part of my site is to put the risks into prospective and show people a few simple tricks of the trade. First off a “hacker” is someone who plays with technology for enjoyment but the term has become synonymous with “cracker,” a person that performs an illegal act. So ya ask should ya be are worried about crackers? Well I’d say if you use windows ya have a greater chance of being a target. To find out how secure or unsecure you are, perform an internet connection security analysis (of commonly probed ports ).

Yahoo is now one of the three "big players" ( google , MSN and Yahoo ) and claimed at the beginning of September 2005, to have indexed 19 billion sites (against google's 8 billion). A few weeks later Google claimed 25 billion docs (against Yahoo 20 billion). Yahoo had indexed in March 2009 more than 50 billion documents. In July 2008 google stated "being aware" of " more than a trillion documents ". Since the indexable Web runs around trillions docs (and is still growing by some billion pages everyday) this 'race' is rather pointless :-) Excite is a classical example of just another 'ignoble corporate merge'.
