    I thought someone used your RemoveWAT to spread the malware and because of this:

    NAh, it disables the timebomb in the enterprise 90 day evaluation copies, not the pre RTM bomb

    With WAT expected to evolve into much more of a nuiscance than it already is, which method of activation stands a better chance of escaping deactivation: bios mod, cert & key or a trusted loader? The reason I ask is because I will be doing a clean install of Win 7 64bit on a system that is already bios modded and running Win 7 32bit. Long term though I would prefer not to deal with WAT issues should WAT become mandatory.

    I contemplated on the same thing a week or so ago. But like you said, Wat is evolving and we can't be certain which option is better. I think that at this point, which ever works is acceptable. In my case, I opted for a clean install with a bios mod, cert and key. I figured, if it fails validation, I could then go back to using a loader.... that's if the favorite Daz loader remains unscathed. Just my thoughts...

    That makes sense, the bios mod is already there so I guess I'll use it first. I've got 2 systems, one bios modded and one running Daz's loader. Both have the WAT update installed and both pass genuine. What I'm thinking now is if I run into problems with the bios mod I can try the different options in Daz's loader to fix it.

    I am looking for the SLIC BIOS and CERT for the GA-MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard. Do you have a link for it, as I cannot find it at all?

    I accidently installed the wat update "again" :) on the 4th march, but I only just noticed yesterday and windows was still genuine. I still uninstalled it though...anyone know how often it scans?

    default is 90 days

    BUT you can set it to any time manually, up to 365 days

    Sounds like you need to stop these "accidents" and right click and hide the WAT update.

    The funny thing is I never installed from WU, it still hasn't appeared on there for me. I downloaded georges pack and must of installed it without looking at the KB number.
