wgatray.exe is a process which belongs to the Microsoft Windows Operating System and provides a notification system for Windows Genuine Advantage product validation software. This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems. Should not be disabled, required for essential applications to work properly

Es ist eine schwachsinnige Idee von Microsoft die sich ins System einbindet und täglich Informationen über die Echtheit ihrer Microsoft Windows XP Version an Microsoft sendet nerven tut sie obendrein auch noch da unter Umständen auch Originale und Legale Versionen als Illegal gekennzeichnet werden
