How I Removed the Windows XP SP3 Activation
My Windows XP Home just finished downloading and installing the SP3 file. After I restarted my PC, I was greeted by the following icon:
Uh oh. If I can’t activate or crack this WPA in 30 days, I would not be able to log in to my machine anymore. I tried the crack I used for SP2 but it won’t work with SP3. So I began searching the net but most hacks I found will just disable the alert but not the 30 day countdown.
I found a crack (ANTIWPA-V3.4.6 FOR X64 AND X86.zip) for SP3 on torrent sites. I’m very careful in using cracks on my machine so before I download the file, I made sure that my PC is clean by doing a full virus scan. Once it’s done, I downloaded the crack and extracted the contents.
One of our readers cleaned the zipped file so there’s supposed to be no risk of infection. I uploaded the file here (Ziddu) or you can get it from here (MegaUpload). Thanks Marton!
My AVG alerted me of a trojan virus on one of it’s file but I’m not alarmed though. Most cracking files whether it’s for a game or a software are always tagged as a virus by AVG so I went ahead and ran the main file to patch my Windows. Before I restarted my machine, I deleted all the crack files so AVG will stop pestering me with alerts.
Time for the moment of truth. I restarted my machine and did another full virus scan. I also did my checklist for detecting if my PC is infected by a virus by checking for:
- New files in Windows system folders
- New and odd processes that appears on my task manager
- Autorun.inf files on my drives
- Startup processes via msconfig
- Startup processes via regedit
All is clean. I typed oobe/msoobe /a on the run command and voila,
The crack worked and I can now enjoy SP3 where I noticed a bit of speed improvement especially during startup. Thanks to CW2K for creating the crack.
Hope this post helped you guys who are figuring out how to remove the WPA. Of course, piracy is illegal. This is just for educational purposes.

Well i dunno about you guys but it worked for me and i ahve Eset Smart Security 4
Seems to be working. It was my antivirus which was deleting the file so it couldn’t register. Now everything’s work well. Thanks again.
Thank for this sugestion, It’s 100% work.
Nice patch, it worked for me…. Thankyou very much for the concerned person.
Works for me (windows XP SP3 PT).
Nice
Uppps, sorry, Trojan inside.
My anti virus (Kaspersky) caught it after the reboot.
i installed the patch but my AVG 8.5 keeps warning me of a trojan. Healing removes the file and i have to patch again. Then avg picks it up again…
how do i stop this cycle? please help
you can ask AVG to ignore it for a awhile. then when you’re done, you can safely delete the file/s.
i ran “regsvr32 /s antiwpa” and it installed successfully. My pc (running xp pro sp3) is up & running and avg doesnt bug me about trojans anymore. I even managed to install windows media player 11. Thanks!
I just wonder how long before im logged off with a “windows already activated” message
calvin: hmmm, never happened to me. haven’t heard things like that happening either to those who were able to activate theirs.
Thank you man for your kindly help! keep up the good work! cheeers
