    Suddenly today my RemoveWAT activation stopped working :O I had to uninstall it and now i'm using Chew7.
    Can this have anything to do that i installed a new Bios the day before?

    Hey Hazar,
    I read somewhere that you're working on a new version for removeWAT. So I've put off installing your great program for a month or so now.
    Is there a new release soon or should I not worry about it and install anyway?
    Thanks

    RW and BIOS are not dependent on eachother for RW to work

    @fad3d

    RW install WAT then patches or disables WAT

    @Soulie

    I only heard he said once he was working on new uninstaller so I'm curious too when a new build will present itself.

    One short question... by which CLI I will be able to uninstall this?

    Code:
    takeown /f %windir%\System32\Wat\WatAdminSvc.exe
    icacls %windir%\System32\Wat\WatAdminSvc.exe /deny *S-1-1-0:F

    Hmm I used this and it's been working no problem for about a month/month and a half now and suddenly I'm getting the please activate windows thing. I don't think I've made any changes, and when I open up the tool to run it again it still says it's installed. Am I supposed to activate it and it just passes or what?

    did anyone find that if you dont update thru windows update first prior to using removewat225, then updating stalls when you try to shutdown after just updating?

    clear? lol

    or am i doing wrong? i understand that one of the recent updates might affect removewat?

    Where did you download RW from???? Sounds like you have an affected one. The one on the first page is clean!!

    I see that Microsoft has released a lot of updates (11) on 10th Aug 2010.
    Is it safe to apply them with WAT removed ?
    Anyone already tried to install every update with WAT removed?

    Thanks
