Windows 7 Activation - Remove WAT v2.2.5.2 (ThumperTM)

All Windows 7 versions are supported. Windows Server 2008 R2 Editions supported. RemoveWAT removes WAT (Windows Activation Technologies) completely from the OS, whilst still retaining OS genuine status and receiving all updates. You will still pass the genuine check (WGA). Disables activation completely but does nothing to the validation. There will be no windows activation section in control panel. Windows Activation Technologies will be gone. No slmgr, no nags, no prompts. Original credits to: FreeRyde & Hazar Works perfectly on a system where previous activation (Developer activation 1.1.3) was disabled by the new WAT update. New Windows 7 antipiracy update to phone home regularly Feb 2010 The update will detect \"more than 70 known and potentially dangerous activation exploits\" that attempt to bypass or compromise WAT and will determine whether the copy of Windows 7 that is installed on a PC is genuine. It is also supposed to improve the integrity of key licensing components on the OS and will run periodic validations every 90 days. The update will be for all editions of Windows 7, although it will be distributed for Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions first. It will be available online at Microsoft.com/Genuine starting on February 16, and on the Microsoft Download Center the following day. Later this month, the update will also be offered through Windows Update as an \"Important\" update, but it will not be directly offered through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). The update will be voluntary (meaning that you can choose not to install it) and can also be uninstalled at any time. Enterprise customers use WSUS to manage the distribution of software updates in their IT environment, so it\'s surprising that Microsoft is skipping this area, though the company noted a WSUS administrator can import this update from Microsoft Update. Microsoft also promised that the update will not jeopardize the user\'s privacy since none of the information sent to Microsoft\'s servers includes personally identifiable information. If the update spots known activation exploits and the copy of Windows 7 is found to be nongenuine, the antipiracy notifications built into the OS will spring to life. PCs running genuine Windows 7 software with no activation exploits won\'t see any prompts since the update runs quietly in the background. Microsoft also says the customer will see no reduced functionality in their copy of Windows: applications work as expected and access to personal information is unchanged. During the quarterly validation, Windows will download the latest \"signatures\" that are used to identify new activation exploits (think antivirus software). The WAT update will run a check and repair weekly, however, if it discovers tampering, disabling, or missing licensing files. Just last week, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit over the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) component in Windows XP after more than three years. Still, Microsoft chose to make this WAT update optional, so clearly the company has changed its ways at least a little bit. WAT removed/disabled, no watermark, able to set wallpaper of choice.

what's the password for the RAR file?!?!?
WHY IS THERE A PASSWORD FOR THE RAR FILE?!?!

pdx420 (2010-09-06)

Opem read me and see password!

xnomadxx420 (2010-09-09)

well looks like this may have worked gonna wait a couple hours and see

fr0ntl1n3 (2010-09-11)

worked like a champ and no virus/exploits found in the file. Thx ThumperTM!

ninjazx (2010-09-17)

DONT download this.
My AV progrma detects it as a Trojan:
spr/tool.wpakill.b.7

ToonPal (2010-09-23)

This is not a virus. It's just that some anti-virus programs blacklist programs that defeat piracy countermeasures or other mischievous traits. I have a thumb drive on which I keep Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder which retrieves the Windows product key and product keys of other installed programs. When I once stuck that thumb drive into a friend's computer, his Norton instantly scrubbed it off! At least NOD32 Anti-virus lets you choose whether or not to delete a program or to de-blacklist select programs so your vast collection of hacker toys doesn't suddenly vanish into thin air.

Jessiejj (2010-09-30)

I love you Thumper! Thank you.. you saved me from pulling out the last hair on my head. I have one question though, you said it does nothing to the validation.. does this mean that MS can still run a check and see it's not activated or properly licensed?

bowzee (2010-10-13)

Vicious trojan, shows up as a new file after the you execute the activator.

5t4lk3r (2010-10-31)

clean so far, i use new NIS 2011 fully up to date, n its working, since my 7 was identified not genuine, :)), n now everything back to normal, tyvm for upload

Murdster (2010-11-10)

Perfect. Thanks very much.
By the way, what's RemoveWAT_2?

sitesida (2010-11-14)

worked on my win7 64bit

Figmo (2010-11-25)

Works for activating Win7 x64 and getting updates - BUT cannot install Microsoft Security Essentials. It says "not a genuine copy of Windows", so this will not pass all MS genuine checks.

RedMatrix (2010-12-06)

Worked on my Pro x64 where the nag screens were already occouring.

asteroth1 (2010-12-31)

THAXXXXUUUU thumperrrr you savedd my laptopp AND saved me FROM the brain tumor that i was gonna get cuz of this problem ------- ALL PPLZ THIS WORKS perfectO ly !!! on win 7 untimate - 7600-build ----acer 4920g .thnx again

freeforlife (2011-01-31)

Thanks,works cool on my updated win 7 64 bit:)

dorsman (2011-02-20)

works great but for some reason one day my tag at the bottom of the screen "This copy of windows is not genuine" came back. Everything works fine except for this tag being there. I put the wat back and re-removed it but its still there. Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

toenail77 (2011-02-20)

tag at the bottom of the screen "This copy of windows is not genuine"
happens after SP1 install
we need an updated Remove Wat

stubbieaussi (2011-02-24)

Same here.
After updating to SP1 you are unable to remove the "This copy of windows is not genuine" watermark at the bottom of the screen.
None of the watermark removers currently on the net gets rid of it either.
Please post if you find a solution......I feel dirty.

12alpha (2011-03-02)

Go to Start > Control Panel > System.
As soon as the system page is selected, the
watermark disappears from the screen for about 12 hours. This works every time for me but I would obviously like to remove it permanently.
Waiting for some clever guy to come up with a
solution.

sovyet (2011-03-06)

The best advice I have for those of you having trouble with Service Pack 1? Uninstall it until a method of removing the new WAT (or whatever the issue may be now) comes along. I'm doing it right now...damn the service packs, full steam ahead!

agapimou26 (2011-03-13)

restore WAT, use the daz loader, do NOT download the latest 1.2 mb kb971033 update, works for me!!!

fredooc1b3 (2011-03-24)

Scanned with ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4.
No torjans or viruses found.
Cheers

12alpha (2011-03-25)

After uninstalling SP1 I got a black screen on every bootup but was able to set a wallpaper which had the watermark and also windows limitations. Downloaded and run Chew-WGA 0.9
from
And it worked a treat- no black screen, Windows activated and no watermark.

hakanmutlu (2011-03-31)

it works perfectly. Also it is virus free. thank you so much

NicoPalm (2011-04-05)

lol noobs.. theres a ton of torrents on this site that will get you past SP1 and still be genuine..

PiratesFirstMate (2011-04-19)

Will you still be able to update Windows 7? I don't care if office doesn't... but I would like the Windows updates still.

Twiggy123 (2011-05-08)

EVERYONE! Malwarebytes shows up as a new Trojan. Both files are bad trojans. not just fake alerts...

vabole (2011-05-09)

Worked well on my Windows 7 SP1 with all updates installed.

timb1234 (2011-05-10)

mi_renraule (2011-05-27)

avira detected both RemoveWAT.exe and RemoveWAT_2.exe infected with SPR/Tool.WPAkill.B.1 virus/malware.

Redcrown (2011-05-29)

Listen Fools ! either these are malwares or trojans.Just do yourselves a favour uninstall the file KB971033 from the installed update tab in Action Center.And never install the above update again.And please dont ever use fucking torrents for everything try googling your FAQs.LOLS

Iyatiku (2011-06-02)

No problems whatsoever. Works great! Thnk u very much.

leo.alion (2011-06-15)

gr8 stuff mate! as there is no status will you confirm that it will work after 30 days also ?

[Flux] (2011-06-25)

Thanks so much. My loader that I used didn't work when I first activated and I didn't know. My computer said that windows was not genuine and did all that shit. This loader worked perfect. Thanks for helping me keep all of my files! :D

smilisav (2011-06-25)

It is reported as malware... but read the name:
SPR/Tool.WPAkill.B.1 (read again: TOOL, WPA KILL)
Do you understand why is that? It had to be implemented into definition list if programmers wanted to have their Antivirus accepted in Action Center.

Korios (2011-06-28)

works, from all the activators i used this one did the job, thanks

Norwayguy100 (2011-07-02)

Chevey0 (2011-09-16)

Chevey0 (2011-09-16)

adisyam (2011-09-27)

Thanks man...

trikimiki (2011-10-06)

Thanks For This
WORKS PERFECTLY

randomstranger99 (2011-10-11)

This worked, then SP1 broke it. I reversed it (using the other button in the WAT window), rebooted and applied it again. It works, but MS Security Essentials isn't happy. Anyone know how to patch that?

bakir97 (2011-10-25)

THanks man it is working

partypoison (2011-10-30)

works like a charm.

k45542n (2011-11-06)

Worked perfectly to get rid of the watermark after the accidental KB971033 update, cheers!

gaui00 (2011-11-24)

Trusted download, it appears to have fixed the countdown timer of days left for activation.

supportkiller (2011-12-28)

Though i was fucked when i got the following error when rebooting:
NTLDR is missing,
Press Ctrl alt delete to restart.
then i had to facepalm becouse my pc was trying to bot from my external hard drive T.T

danilo.zejak (2012-01-25)

Need a little help. Downloaded and extracted 2(_2) "Remove WAT" exe. files. Ran the first one and rebooted, now the annoying Genuine message is gone but watermark is still there. Am i to run the other exe. too?

samjv (2012-01-25)

wat is the password..?

senssuiy (2012-03-02)

thanks
man...

javidavie (2012-03-12)

HEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!! PLZZZZZZZZZZZ
After I downloaded the torrent and i put the password in and then ran the .exe that is instructed to run, i worked fine. Then i rebooted my pc and it was fine, but then i try to change the theme and i keep rejecting my changings so it keep putting a black background. Also it only allows me to put solid color backgrounds, does anyone know how to fix this???

rupelto (2012-03-13)

Thank u
It Worked!

nepthito (2012-04-03)

Thanks Works Perfect

Ji.CAze (2012-04-11)

Segundo diversos antivirus (ou segundo o VirusTotal) se trata de um malware.

Percebi no entanto que diversos deles na verdade reconheceram o removedor de WAT, e por isso o alertaram.

É mesmo um vírus?
Removido o wat, eu ainda posso instalar manualmente atualizações que considerar importante, ou não é recomendado?

CyanideX (2012-04-13)

What is the difference between RemoveWAT.exe and RemoveWAT_2.exe?

OverlordAlexndr (2012-04-14)

here is what happened to me(x64 windows 7 ultimate):
tried a few of other windows loaders, none worked. dont remember the names.
this one I run, it restarts, I change background,after a while it still pops up notifications.
next day(next booting I suppose) its fixed though. no notifications, watermark in the bottom gone. dont know why or how, but its fixed. thanks Thumper

sos21 (2012-05-28)

this isnt a trojan ffs.. these kind of files, like keygens use some lines of code from trojens.. this is why virus & malware programs detect them as such!..

Tankboy38 (2012-06-02)

Excellent work Thumper! Worked on the first try!

Tankboy38 (2012-06-07)

Perfect! Worked on first try! Thanks!!!

QuimTropico (2012-06-08)

Gabranthh (2012-06-25)

Thanks, i just got a message saying that my windows isn't genuine (... but ofc it is ^.^ )
This works perfectly.

Why does this say I need a password to open w/ winrar?

Not working anymore.My windows does not update anymore. :-(
But i used MBR regenerator and get an windows loader and get it working. ;)

Steven5456 (2012-09-20)

Worked great! W7 x64

Bunnies (2012-10-09)

Wow, easiest thing I ever did. Downloaded, unrared using the password provided in the Readme, installed removeWAT.exe (not removeWAT_2.exe, not really sure what that's for). It installed, rebooted my system, and windows no longer asks me for activation. Not sure if it works with windows updates, but who cares! I'm good without all the "bells and whistles" (read: mostly hassles) that come with all the updates.
Very nice torrent!

welhim (2012-11-25)

thanks man 100% works fine on my windows 7 64bit

Specialc1000 (2013-03-10)

Works perfect. I just clicked the reinstall wat button and then removed again with the same program. Thanks so much.
Also, Zombified2012 is a homo

tyler305 (2013-03-15)

Worked perfect the first time! No more annoying "windows is not genuine" watermark bullshit! Rebooted and Windows is normal again! Weird because I installed with a genuine Dell disc but I guess it did not like being installed on a non-Dell machine but whatevs it works now!

Bubista2010 (2013-03-18)

Thanks. Worked perfectly. No problems downloading.

Jugg141 (2013-03-21)

Works perfect huh? haha. load of crap... asks for a password when trying to unrar

ZoLyrica (2013-04-01)

@Jugg141 You're a fucking derp, there's a rar password in the readme. ALWAYS READ THE READ ME YOU TOOLS. For fuck's sake, it isn't there for nothing you god damn 15 year olds that found out about torrents in the last year are so irritating.

miriack (2013-04-07)

thx! read the readme file!! works great! :)

rb368 (2013-04-08)

Thanks! I tried 2 of the Daz loaders, but they froze every time I tried to run them. This worked great!

As of today 7/13/2013, this worked fine.

BostonAl2012 (2013-07-25)

I just ran this and it seems to work fine! No more Windows is not genuine pop up or tab...
Windows is telling me there are now updates to run? Are there any that I shouldn't run after installing remove wat?
TY Thumper~you rock! ;)

ECodeer (2013-07-29)

nice man

3la000e (2013-07-30)

thankx ..... man
it worked perfectly

weinerwad3000 (2013-08-04)

I don't have the annoying pop-up anymore but my desktop still says Windows isn't genuine. The tool says that wat has already been removed.

zbox97 (2013-09-06)

ZoLyrica... someone sounds mightily mature themselves.
I agree, readmes should be read, but they are usually full of generic rubbish nowdays. There is no reason to lock up this rar so I'm not going to think to harshly of people that don't understand to check it.

 TSV (2013-12-23)

I can't believe this still works.
I've tried loaders, activators, serials and even pre-registered os's. Good old remove wat. If you're struggling, the windows 7 ultimate this has just activated is one I uploaded on here years ago. It says 32bit but it has x64 too. Click on my username, install mine then keep this program should you have any problems with activation.
Cheers Thumper, you the man.

pbntomi26 (2014-03-22)

Works like charm! Thanks a lot! :)

Jesse_Pinkman (2014-03-25)

Is it normal that I can't use anymore Windows Update? Since I installed RemoveWat and use it, I can't do any updates on my Windows 7. It search forever the update but don't download it... Please can someone help with that. My Windows updates was working fine before.

Regus90 (2014-07-29)

Works great, i've used this on 3 different computers
the only problem is that it says "windows is not genuine" in the lower right side of the screen after a few weeks. Doesnt bother me.

k30503 (2014-09-25)
