Thank you all for your help. The MsiExec.exe /uninstall {B148AB4B-C8FA-474B-B981-F2943C5B5BCD} worked to get rid of the pop up warning when launching word, excel, etc., but after opened, the not genuine notification was still in the upper left. The advice by chicken said did the rest of the trick.
thanks!!!!

Disable OGA Notification – Hack – 5
Microsoft does not allow people to uninstall OGA notifications, but you can easily delete and remove OGA components from your system manually. In this way, they will be automatically go inactive and you won’t see those boring “This copy of Microsoft Office is not genuine” notifications again.

1.Close all Office applications first
2.Navigate to C:\Wndows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWow64 folder and delete the following files
OGAVerify.exe
OGAAddin.dll

3.You are done.

Easier way on Vista:

Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
an run the file WINWORD.exe like adminstrator.

Click the Office Button in upper left corner and select “Excel Options” or “Word Option” depends on which Office application you are running. Select Add-ins and click in Office Genuine (…) and then in Go, in botton.

Remove the add-in.

I did it now and I hope it works.

Tried the command MsiExec.exe /uninstall {B148AB4B-C8FA-474B-B981-F2943C5B5BCD} didn’t work. Got an error message saying that this only works on products that are installed. Any tips?

The ‘msiexec /uninstall’ trick works GREAT. On my PC, the Class ID was different, though. The best bet is to open RegEdit, browse down to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and start peeking at the keys starting with {B0…. Eventually on will have the DisplayName of “OGA Notifier”. Use that Class ID as the argument to ‘msiexec /uninstall’ and rejoice.
