Yes, I know you’ve read this in hundreds of websites and most of the methods to bypass, remove and disable Windows Genuine Notification are from Amit Agarwal Blogspot. This post is going to be different because I’ve discovered a much simpler way to do it! This method also passes Windows Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Site.

There are 3 types of notification messages that you might get if you’re using a pirated version of Microsoft Windows XP provided you’ve installed KB905474 update.
The following notification messages will appear on computers that are running a copy of Windows that has failed the Windows Genuine Advantage validation process:

1• Logon notification
When you log on to a non-genuine copy of Windows XP, you receive the following logon notification error message:
You may be a victim of software counterfeiting. This copy of Windows is not genuine and is not eligible to receive all updates and product support from Microsoft.
Click Get Genuine now to get more information and resolve this issue.

When you receive this message, you have the following two options:
• You can click Get Genuine to start the Get genuine Windows process.
• You can click Resolve Later. If you use this option, an icon will be available in the notification area that you can double-click to start the Get genuine Windows process.

2• Balloon notification
After you log on to a non-genuine copy of Windows XP, you receive a balloon notification message in the notification area that is specific to the validation failure. You can click the balloon notification or the notification area icon to open the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Failure Web page. This Web page gives you the specifics of the validation failure and the steps that you can take to make the operating system genuine.
