Not to suggest that anyone here would run an illegal copy of Xp but if you know someone that is you may want to pass this link on to them

Microsoft makes such excellent software nobody should be using an illegal copy...

The guy in that article claimed windows update install malware. One reason why I never use windows update, because you never know what M$ installs on your pc.

I read the article on how to uninstall it.

I have a simpler way myself. I run my Windows XP on a FAT32 partition. I can stick in a floppy disk, and boot to DOS. This allows me to delete anything I want from my computer, without having the undeletable-process problems that occur if you try to delete while Windows is running.

werty 316 you are right there. I'm surprised that they didn't do it sooner. That's a great solution discharge. Another great solution is not to update. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
