TH_Overkill Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Google for LegitCheckControl.DLL 1.5.512.0 download & copy to Windows/System32 works 100% 15th March 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Google for LegitCheckControl.DLL 1.5.512.0 download & copy to Windows/System32 works 100% 15th March 2006FYI that is not significant on a fresh install as that version of WGA needs some registry entries to be identified correctly It's all in previous posts.

RogueSpear Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I suppose a Sony style rootkit is next. Can you make a rootkit for your own OS? Microsoft will show us before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Rhoads Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 If you are legal and/or can do without this garbage, but still want to install the "update", just find a "fixed" file, run modifype on that file, extract the original update exe file contents using winrar, swap the original file with the fixed file and rebuild the exe with winrar or simular app. This will run the update as usual but will install the fixed file instead. No nags and doesnt show as needed to be installed on Windows Update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I have a Legal version of XP but still I designed a fixed version of the KB905474 Update..... Bye Bye Nags.... lolLegal versions do not require a Fix, the update installs and then unloads once it has verified your copy is legit.It is only the illegal versions that have the nag.
