       *Microsoft "Genuine Advantage" cracked in 24h:
       window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all'*

AV sez, "This week, Microsoft started requiring users to verifiy their 
serial number before using Windows Update. This effort to force users to 
either buy XP or tell them where you got the illegal copy is called 
'Genuine Advantage.' It was cracked within 24 hours."

   Before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the
   address bar and press enter:

   javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

   It turns off the trigger for the key check
