    here is a comparison with slmgr -dlv :
    removewat: license status: notification ,notification reason: 0XC004F057 remaining win rearm count: 3
    win7 loader: license status: licensed , remaining win rearm count: 3

    and with win7loader from microsoft.com/genuine/ (using ie8) is genuine.

    Sure, I've never checked this before, and yes I did find the error message in event log. Is removeWAT only treating the symptom (nag screens), and not the cause? And why is it an issue since windows works well anyway?

    Fix:

    1.Open RemoveWAT, close all programs and then click "Restore WAT"/"Remove WAT" - let it reboot (auto).
    2.Open RemoveWAT and repeat once again untill you get "Remove WAT" then execute it as the final one.

    NOTE:while doing this your anti-virus will prompt access permissions to the internet for removeWAT.exe, allow it temporarily then block it's access from the internet so that the embedded trojan will be useless.

    [or]

    just block it completely via windows firewall

    it connects to 96.28.136.171 on port 49916..that must be the trojan's server..who cares anyway.

    Reason for this problem:Windows media player's automatic update, which cannot be disabled physically.Disable windows media center if possible(wont be a problem for now).

    you know for sure? ;) he could be caught red-handed now :p

    PS. Although I have NOT witnessed removewat itself, windows is accessing something or other over the internet, which cannot be turned off unless u want your internet cut off as well

    He is a moderator here and it think it's shunned on for moderators to include trojans in their win 7 solutions...lol

    Have some respect he was the first guy to activate win 7 I believe so even though RW has some uninstall issues it does work as an solution

    p.s. I believe RW dl's the WAT update then disables it buy patch or deletion of some files. I'm uncertain exactly but there's no trojan

    I think you're right ...
    At that moment, I use this tool downloaded from here and I have not had problems.

    I'm a bit offended.

    I would never include a trojan of any sorts in my work :(

    your stupidity have no borders, this tool is clean if you extract it you will find that the contents is a fake update "KB971033" to protect you from Micr0soft and the WSUSSCAN.cab for installing the update no virus no Trojan nothing

    @Ashq
    Try more next time and learn to use computers
