    Just showed up for me as well after disappearing for a couple weeks. (East coast US) My test system is still "genuine" via a self-done BIOS mod. (I don't install that crap on my work systems, I don't want or need MSE.)

    I received KB971033 on Feb 23 and hid it. About 10 days ago i noticed it had gone. Today it is back in hidden updates. Weird.

    For a relative of mine, I bought an HP Pavilion laptop on Saturday. In India at least, for OEM and unactivated versions (like in repository), KB971033 remains unticked by default.

    lol yeah right he bought it that way. check the partial product key... LOL lol....they are working on this update. it was not supposed to hit the usa yet. i have heard its still being worked on thats why a lot of people are seeing it again. i am now also seeing it but only on a few of my machines

    also i spoke with hp again to verify that the issues are not very widespread BUT they are investigating a few systems that were in fact flagged as non genuine directly from them. again this is not widespread but there are some legit hp systems with issues.

    I have made more money working on HP brand computers than any other. Dell is probably second but that is due more to bad support than bad products.

    Yes that is correct, same thing goes for any M$ downloads that require validation like XP mode. They all attemt to install WAT to validate your system dude. As long as you have a good loader like Daz's or a matching bios mod you should be good against WAT, at least for now anyway.

    That post was over a month old, and he didn't do anything that warranted being insulted in this post atleast. I have no idea about his other posts but this didn't seem to warrant getting hostile over.

    Noob, you have absolutely no right or authority to decide who contributes and who doesn't.
