Does KB971033 distribution depend on my IP?

    Hi,

    I own a legit Win7 Copy and auto-update is turned on (and has been turned on since I installed W7 about 1 year ago). I was never given the choice to install nor to hide KB971033 through automatic update. I always used a German IP to connect to MS update servers.
    About 4 days ago I was on a trip to the Ukraine. After I've accessed the internet from there, KB971033 got installed silently.
    In my particular case that was no problem (legit copy), but it caught my attention. Is MS pushing this update depending on user's IP adresses? (probably to piracy hotspots?) Has anyone else encountered the same?
    I've searched the net extensively for information about this behaviour but couldn't find any.

    Greetings
    efoo
