Windows Update Program Hacked


Recommended Posts

Well, this is above my lil'noobie head, I take it this concerns what I read about MS wanting to "have a looksie" at your computer before the update begins to make sure you have a legit copy of XP?? And someone found a way around it?

And by the way, Pierce, each time I check out your site, its improved. Nice work, :thumbsup: and gosh do you have a lot of articles now!! Keep up the good work.

Blim basicaly it falseifies the check, so it turns the "no im not a verified and legit user" to "im god like, i payed for windows"

It was microsofts fault for putting it into a javascript, which is extremly easy to manipulate.

Thanks, Pierce. The whole hacking idea scares me because of the damage some have done, but thats......well.....kinda funny. What was MS thinking?!? Aren't they supposed to have the "greatest techy folks" working for them, and they make something that is "cracked" in a day? :blink:

i think microsoft has been easy on iligell coppies

becuase of the the amonut of

users legal or illegal.

and dont want to loose those users. it make bizness sense

if you cant beat them join them.

who may be able to buy microsoft products.

i have friends 5 in all

who have illegal copies

and get the same updates rights as i do and im pi---ed off.

as a matter of intertest.

2 of them have ther updates on auto

and do get the updates.

this is the third board ive seen with this article

why all of the sudden interest.

because thos up dates havent changed.

it is putting the fear of god into the

firefox and mozilla users

because with out windows these

browsers would be a statistic

and i wouldnt be surprised

if microsoft

stops the use of other browsers

i know they are thinking of it i. got this from my local branch.

hence the comming of explorer7.

rightly or wrongly

i dont want to get into that discussion.

i have slimbrowser and i like it

but it may have to go.

tho ime one who will buy the new OS when it arives

im not sure how the illegal users will fare

because i feel this policy is aimed at them for the new os.

marty

ps

ive pasted that hack into

notepad

and hope i dont have to use it
