When I start up Windows XP I get a message from Zone Alarm which reads:
Suspicious Behavior
Windows Genuine Advantage is trying to read and modify physical memory ( programme WgaTray.exe)Zone Alarm gives me the option to allow or deny - thus far I have opted for deny. Please could anyone tell me what Windows Genuine Advantage is; I suspect any advantage would be to Microsoft rather than to me.

Allow it and click the always remember.

With out this you are not going to be able to download and install some items from Microsoft. This does include some updates.

Microsoft wants to check a system to be sure all MS portions are 'legit.' It will not allow downloads from MS, if it finds illegal entries. That is why "Genuine" is used in the title.
