Windows Pain In The A(dvantage) Tool......


Recommended Posts

I notice that within the last few weeks when I go to Windoze Updates it says that they have changed the site and I have to install the Windows genuine advantage tool first. I have always omitted that from my monthly critical updates because I don't consider it critical. I consider it more intrusion from M$.

Everytime I d/l anything from M$ they of course run the check and I am able to download, but what's up with this as a critical update?

I'm being stubborn perhaps, can I download the updates elsewhere?

Thanks,

Joe

I never trust downloads from alternate sites. I just download the WGA and let it do it's thing. All it does is tell Billy that your version of Windows is legit. Nothing more or less.

Thanks for the reply.
