Hi,
I recently received the following from my brother, who received it  from one 
of his friends. My question is, is the following  correct?

"There is growing concern that the anti-piracy feature in  Windows XP called 
Windows Genuine Advantage presents a security and privacy  risk because it 
"phones home" at regular 14-day intervals. Others call WGA a  "nuisance."
RemoveWGA blocks Windows Genuine Advantage from reporting back to  Microsoft. 
The tool alerts you if the WGA notification is active on your  system, stops 
WGA from activating when you turn your PC on, and removes  it.

For the record, Microsoft says Windows Genuine Advantage is designed  to 
check whether you are running a licensed copy of Windows XP.

Should I delete "Windows Genuine Advantage"? Is this program  truly 
spyware ?  ---Or is this a Internet  trick?

Any help  appreciated.
