Evidently, since WGA is no longer shipped with newer Windows, this utility is useless for Windows 8 or later versions. This is a Windows update flagged as "Important" and could pose a security risk as it opens a connection to Microsoft's servers every time the files are loaded. RemoveWGA is a little tool designed to remove the intentionally-deployed Windows Genuine Advanced (WGA) Notification, which means it could make things a little bit quieter for your computer by disabling repetitive balloon messages and popup alerts triggered by this Microsoft tool. Similar problems can occur with anti-Trojan or anti-spyware tools. The incorrect detection may be due to heuristics or to an incorrect virus signature in a database. This is called a "false positive", used when anti-malware tools wrongly classify an innocuous (inoffensive) file as a virus. Note: Some antivirus / antispyware programs as well as web browsers flag RemoveWGA as being infected/malware, although the application is perfectly safe and does not pose a threat to your system.
