Here's mine!
Boot into safe mode and log into the administrator account or any account
with admin privileges.
Search the C: drive, and delete WGATray.EXE wherever it exists. (usually
twice)
In RegEdit, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft Windows
NTCurrentVersionWinlogonNotify Find a key called "WGALOGON" and delete
it.
Reboot
Turn off Auto Update... it isn't needed if you use malware protection,
firewall, and all your hardware works.
