There are additional ways around it @ the comments here: http://extended64.com/blogs/rafael/archive/2005...

Hasn't worked since 20th January. Anyone got an updated script?

please can anyone help me , iam using firefox and using the extension that makes me work as internet explorer engine and i can now use firefor to go to windows update site but i can't bypass the validation of this WGA so isn't there a script that can be added to greasemonkey and do that job....... Waiting for experts answers

just click
tools > manage add-ons > Windows Genuine Advantage > Disable and it is allllll goood!

New script is available at http://www.anti-tgtsoft.com/index.php?entry=ent...

So, is there something else like this that works?

And, is it just me, or is the main purpose for this, simply to create a cookie? If so, can't a corrected cookie just be copied into IE? (which I would assume would make it allow Automatic Update/Microsoft Update...)

seems the code as current does not work after the MS download centre is updated. Is that have other way to solve this problem?

As CBWhiz said, the comments revealed the answer.
"js.text = 'document.cookie="WinGenCookie=validation=0";'

Needs a trailing semicolon, like thus:

js.text = 'document.cookie="WinGenCookie=validation=0";';
"

then one refresh on the antispyware download page changes it from continue to download

this trixie script seems to work:
// ==UserScript==
// @name WGA Workaround
// @namespace d09733c0-fe4c-11d9-8cd6-0800200c9a66
// @description Windows Genuine Advantage Workaround (IE)
// @include http*://*.microsoft.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

(function ()
{
// Fix Microsoft Downloads-based WGA
var js = document.createElement("script");
js.setAttribute("language", "JavaScript");
js.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
js.text = 'document.cookie="WinGenCookie=validation=0";';
document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0).appendChild(js);

// Also fix Microsoft/Windows Update-based WGA
// (Thanks MacMonkey and rest)
window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all';
}
)();

yeah, although the script appears to run fine, I believe MS has changed the download center to make this script non-functional.

Test case was the MS antispyware beta, previously a refresh or two would produce the "download" button where the "continue" button is now.

Hopefully someone will be able to rework this script to get around whatever change was made to the download center.

using Fx beta 1 (nightly from 09/25) and GM 0.6.2
