Microsoft WGA without class action status!
Yesterday, I’ve heard this news from somebody else! They told me that there was a lawsuit that is trying to sue Microsoft for adding “Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA)” anti-piracy patch onto Windows XP users and disguised it as a high priority update in “Windows Update Center”. Nonetheless, if it had been given “class action status,” this could allow anyone who had owned a copy of Windows XP disk, then, they would have been able to join the lawsuit without hiring a lawyer. So, in my own judgment, this anti-piracy patch, it sounds very dodgy. It also acts like a monitoring software and eats all of your computer resources at boot-up! Even worse, it may retrieve sensitive data and send them back to their headquarters for analysis. Therefore, I would recommend everybody to keep an eye on “WGA” connections and block it from accessing your network.
