    Do you have a 64-bit compilation version of RemoveWAT.exe? I dumped the PE where it shows 32-bit addressing. The same .exe cannot be used on both systems unless you take care of NTDLL's system path redirection problem. The NT DLL will screw with your path once it detects 32 bits.

    hello there, this is a very interesting tool and i can say it cause i am using it now :) also a big thanks for the developers of it.

    what i wanted to ask is if ANY windows update can possibly "find" and disable this application or even worse "lock" windows from even being able to log in.

    i am asking this so i can know if installing ANY windows update can do something of the ones mentioned above to my windows 7 x64 machine!
    so am i safe to install all windows updates? should i install only some of them? (if thats the case what is the category of them? for example i shouldnt install the security ones?)

    Install any update with this tool. Windows doesn't usually lock when "caught" it just gives warning maybe couple hr use then restarts.

    you mean that if it gets "caught" then it will restart its self every time after that in a couple of hours? can this get fixed?

    I don't know... I just know it runs as a native 64bit exe on a 64bit system and works perfectly... same for 32bit...

    I use this tool from November 2009 until now and I have not had any serious problems. It may be luck, but I think the truth is that this tool is well made. I just please do not abandon us after the release of SP1.

    You have to click on the link, not past the link to a browser or open it in a new windows or something like that.

    I appreciate that fact, please the ears arent quite that wet :), but seems strange its being picked up by number of security systems as potential risk & there is no guarantee there hasnt been some other code amended when installed huh, hence the word "hacktool", others have also mentioned there concerns.

    Same here, first install of Windows 7 and I think RemoveWat 1.1(?), I have every update up until now (not the known KB**33 one) and still running without any issues!

    You did a great job Hazar!

    You can say it & it's the Windows Activation Technologies update put out by M$ which is the KB971033 update ;)

    But as far as I'm aware RemoveWAT has that update built in & just disables it ???

    That is correct removewat installs that update then disables it.
