What is "Windows Genuine Advantage Notification"? My firewall wants to know if it's cool for its executable, "WgaTray.exe" to access the Internet. Is this alright?

wgatray.exe is a process which belongs to the Microsoft Windows Operating System and provides a notification system for Windows Genuine Advantage product validation software. This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.

This program is certified by microsoft to scan your key product and verify if your copy of windows is genuine. Unblock the firewall and let it run, that's IF you have a genuine version.
