PostHeaderIcon Remove Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications – Installation Wizard

Every time I log in to my PC, the Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications - Installation Wizard was annoying me. Expecting that it would be on the Start up, I opened msconfig but I found nothing relevant to Windows Genuine advantage.I googled a lot but all I found was the answer for how to remove Windows Genuine Advantage after it gets installed. So I had to spend time on this little thing and atlast found how it works.

Windows Genuine Advantage is one of the Microsoft Updates – KB905474. So all you need to do is delete the folder C:\Windows\system32\KB905474. That is all you need to get rid of this pop up that appears every time you log in.
