Another Way Around Microsofts WGA

Over @ World Rightside Down, techboy writes
WGA Thwarted with one file deletion
"Well I was playing around with WGA and I found a simple way to disable it (without an annoying prompt telling you to enable the plugin in IE).
Simply delete "GWFSPidGen.dll"
Found under
%Systemroot%\system32
Copy text above and paste into "Run" Command.
Get your Windows Updates without an annoying prompt.
I don't like this WGA at all. Virus writers can now get people to think they are running an illegal copy of Winodws. How does this help MS?"

*Though I wouldn't delete it, maybe rename it.*
