Please, can someone tell me how to check if I have inadvertently
installed Windows Genuine Advantage and/or Genuine Advantage for
Windows Office on my computer?

If I have it on board, how can I throw it overboard (i.e. remove it)

Use Autoruns

View everything, way down at the bottom is WgaLogon.

If it's there you have it installed, Unselecting it will disable WGA.

----------------

If your running into the a WGA problem - popup (and restricted to what
you can do with XP), unselecting WgaLogon and rebooting will remove
your problem.

Did this for my sister when her cooperate license wasn't renewed. She
now has full control over her computer again; Just saying it works.

FWIW, WGA still hasn't been installed on my two OS's - Kinda thought
SP3 would of, but nope.

in a hurry - google on wga removal if you want to get rid of the files
