Has anyone else noticed this? Please check your Windows 7 system and see if you find the same situation as I have. ***Does ANYONE have any information that may shed light on this?***
Thanks...papa

Since this is directly related to hacking activation i would guess they are either going to rename it to another KB or maybe force it out as an Important Update instead of optional.

Smoking; You do know that this kb971033 is a backdoor installed by Microsoft, don’t you? It’s NOT something anyone (with a brain) would want installed on their computer.

A: Apple has done such things in the past.
B: I prefer my computer be untethered to a manufacturer’s whim. I really don’t enjoy the “experience” of needing permission on what I can, or can not, run on my machine.
That said, I prefer Linux over anything else.
C: Since I am a tech, I need to keep up on MS’s shenanigans.

That could well be. I was thinking they might sneak it into Security Essentials.

Run Windows Update. Apply the critical and recommended patches. Then run it again, until no critical or recommended patches are found. If the one you are looking for is not encountered in this process, then it was supplanted or subsumed by another, and you shouldn’t worry about it.

I know that Microsoft says it is for “anti-piracy.”
So you don’t really want to install it? You just want to know if it somehow installed itself without your knowledge?
Does it show up if you go to Windows update to see which updates have been installed?

I tried to install it just now but it came back and said it was already installed. A string search of the registry and WinDir turned up nothing.
Since this is a volume license copy I have, I expect it to phone home on occasion anyhow.

If I have a legal copy of Win7, is there a danger to having this update? What is it?
