Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool is a mandatory update to KB892130. It is designed to authenticate the key. This file gets to your personal computer after visiting the WindowsUpdate page.
Instructions
Step 1
This update is referred to on the website of the operating system manufacturer as an ActiveX in the LegitCheckControl.dll module. Has the character of a spyware program. Collects information about your OS. Checks if you are using a paid license.
Step 2
To remove this file from your personal computer, you need to run two commands. Go to "Start" - "Run" - "cmd.exe". A command prompt dialog box will open. Enter the command C:> regsvr32 -u LegitCheckControl.dll. The file search starts. When it is finished, you need to type C:> del LegitCheckControl.dll and press Enter. File deleted.
Step 3
If the command line displays the message “Error …”, then go to “My Computer”, then go to the “Windows” folder and find “system32”. Find the LegitCheckControl.dll file in this system folder and manually delete it.
Step 4
However, such a procedure does not guarantee that this update will get to your computer again. If you go to the WindowsUpdate site, then you will be forced to install this program. It is necessary to block communication channels with this site. Go to your firewall settings and block the connection to mpa.one.microsoft.com. Those whose firewall does not support this function should go to the system32 folder. Open the hosts file with notepad. On the last line, enter: 127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com and save the file.
Step 5
Open a command prompt. Enter the command C:> ipconfig / flushdns. This will initiate a DNS cache reset. Now, when sending WGA information to the server, Microsoft will use the IP address of your computer, and thus communication with the real server will be unavailable and authentication will be disabled.
