By now, famous aggressoware KB295664 and KB 2976978 have just been released ONCE AGAIN, two days ago, trying to push users of W7 and W8 into misery and getting them chained in Microsoft'S dungeon of torment and despair. Is it the 25th time? Or are we already in the 30s circle of repeations? Not bad for a company hat just a few months ago said it would stop the GWX campaign. It hasn't, just their egg-dance now follows a slighty different pattern.

Watch out, and avoid. If you use W7, have Windows Updates not just switched to "inform but do not download", but have it always switched to "never download any stuff from Microsoft at all." Or, once again and in plain English: have Windows Updates on W7 shut down, never update Windows 7 anymore, update nothing when it is related to Windows 7 and Microsoft.
