Gulp! The restore instructions are a little greekish to me. In particular, I don't have a clue about what =//= -> =//= -> =//= -> Edit -> Select Administrators and set all permissions to "Allow" means. What is =//=? And because MGADiag tells me my windows is genuine, can I relax about all this?
A possiblity! I found this on another website! Perhaps it can be useful for those already with the update KB971033 installed! "OK i know there is a lot of scare over the WAT KB971033. Here are some things you can do. If you used one of the WAT REMOVERS. First Option Uninstall kb971033 If you want to Keep it that is Fine Also or you want to keep auto Updates on and dont want to be bothered about the wat thing. here is what you can do Download it install it. Very easy to find KB971033 on MS website will give you the download for the update. here is the tricky part. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\Local Security policy From there Software Restriction Policies- right click and create new Go to additional rules Create 2 hash Rules Or path rules I like hash only cause if the file move Still denied. C:\Windows\System32\Wat\WatAdminSvc C:\Windows\System32\Wat\WatUX Restart Your are done. It has been installed but the operating system is now blocking it from ever running. The exe Cant run there for it can’t tell on you, it is installed so there is no update to watch out for. Fight MS WIN 7 with MS WIN 7"
thank you i will try it & also should i set it back to auto when finished or should i leave it set to manual - or were you implying that i simply change the setting to manual without restoring wat & re-removing wat.
It does. I just had to get my grey mass to work (and send the kids to play outside!). I went through the manual restore again with greater care. While there I saw a 'Wat' folder in system32 with 'WatAdmiSvc.exe' inside it, I deleted it as well. Also I noticed that some of the files that had to be changed had a '.removed' on the end instead of '.bak'. So I am guessing that RemoveWat 2.2 couldn't do the job totally automatically. Restarted and ran 'MGADiag' , choosing not to make changes to the computer and I almost fainted when i saw 'Genuine' in a pretty green colour! My screen was still black, but that was just amatter of pesonalising back to my theme. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Nice, so uh can we recieve a link to the 225 download please. oh & i deleted the wat folder in my system 32 folder is this a bad thing to do i have not erased it out of the recycle biin as of yet cause i want to make sure it does not damage the system in doing so. but i have power cycled successfully.
Hello Hazar perhaps i am misunderstanding you when you say the post has been updated are you saying that you posted a link to the new version of remove you created Ver 2.2.5 or are you saying that that version does not exist and you meant 2.2.4. just wondering. thank you!!
