i installed a avg antivirus and i deleted some file uknowingly when i am uninstalling it is asking to locate file yourself it is missing .how can i remove it  

it does phone home, yes some people who have legit versions can experience issues with it, but yes they can go to the Microsoft website to find out how to re-enter their Product ID (CD key, whatever) and have it fix itself.

Windows Updates WILL still work if set to automatic, so you'll be safe *while you wait for your copy of a legit WinXP to arrive in the mail*

Yes, the LegitCheckControl seems to be frequently updated from Microsoft to prevent those from going to their website and fooling it.

There are also easy ways around all preventative measures such as during installation for MS Private Folders or Windows Live Defender (AntiSpyware), but again you wont have to sink to those levels if you own a legit OS.

'tis good to kick back and relax with my native 64-bit Gentoo installation ;-)

Joejg: there are many good articles on the symantec.com website which may assist you in solving your problem, I would suggest you start there

Otherwise try free.grisoft.com for the free version of AVG Anti-Virus as well as Ewido.

Jenae: Its not always quite that easy... It is my understanding that certain versions of XP (once installed with a VLK) will not take just any old OEM / Acedemic key, nor will it take a Home key either. More often that not in the cases Ive encountered the OS needs to be re-installed.

There are replacement versions of KB905474 which (in laymans terms) trick the OS into thinking its installed it whilst really its done precious little.

Depends, you may be able to. You can certainly report them to Microsoft. I know that many people sell PC's on TradeMe but take no responsibility for the legallity of the Windows XP liscence.

The best way to install that software again. It will automatically add the deleted files. Then you should uninstall it from control panel.
