Microsoft released a new anti-piracy tool

The software giant will release a new version of its anti-piracy tool called Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) next week. Previously, the Windows XP version of this tool was very controversial.

Microsoft said the new version had some adjustments in response to criticism that had been made earlier, that WGA was actually a spy software because it "infiltrated" the computer every time Windows started.

' In the latest update, Microsoft has changed the installation process of this tool. It will appear more publicly on computers , 'said David Lazar, Microsoft Windows Genuine Program Manager. The new version of WGA interface will introduce this tool, explaining the benefits and consequences if users use Windows without copyright.

WGA is part of Microsoft's efforts to prevent software piracy such as warnings displayed on the system when running illegal software. Users have this tool similar to the way they get security tools that are automatically updated for Windows software when it is new. Microsoft plans to release a new version every 3 to 4 months.

In the new version, Microsoft also "rewrites" the warning messages displayed on the computer. If the old warning 'This software is a copy of Windows, it's unorthodox' may sound too incriminating and confusing, the new version ('Your system will not pass a valid test ') seems' light' and more sympathetic.

WGA tool will be released through Microsoft's automatic update service during the next week and December.
