^Rubbish article.

My PC at home running Win7 64 Ultimate with Auto-Update on and that Win 10 upgrade icon in my system tray for ages and I have no such folder.

My PC at work running Win8.1, Auto-Update on and that Win10 icon in the tray since the start and again there's no such folder in my drive.

My Dad's laptop same thing Win7 Home, Auto-Update on, the Win10 icon and no folder.

afaik it only gets you the files if you reserved or signed for the upgrade beforehand, even if you haven't opted to make the move to win10 yet.
Now the Article explains that the users reported that they didn't but I've got 3 PC's and on neither of them I signed, clicked or pushed a button within the Win10 Icon and do not have the sneaked in mystery folder on any of the drives. (Though by now I've removed that update that brough the icon on my own computer as I got sick of that stupid pop up each time I booted up, I may make the move someday but for now I'm still wait&see and do not need a pop up to remind me of it's existence)

Also I like how it moans about ''people with data caps'' running into trouble of running through their limit thus slowing their Internet, I've got one question for these people ''Why on earth do you have Auto-Update enabled?'' If you run internet with a limit the first thing you'll be doing is disable everything that keeps your stuff up-to-date automatically.
