    True!!!they release so many updates, hot-fixes,blah blah n still the system can be hacked...
    MS security updates are useless.I think every time whenever they release something hackers get a good fun laughing...lol

    Modern Germany isn't related to this in any possible way. KGB would work equally well for me ;)

    We're not judging Germany...no one talked of Germany. Just of some sick episodes of history...

    OK - but it was a joke? In these days, reality sometimes is the best satire...the article itself is from 1st of April - it was posted almost two months later, hadn't had a look at the date. Oh my...

    1) Do not install KB971033 (Phone home Microsoft) (This KB971033 (WAT) updates every 1-3 months without user notification)
    2) Yes, You must disable microsoft updates!
    3) You can download updates manually, or download an update pack (secure): Windows 7 Offline Updates (may).
    4) Yes, Disable microsoft updates... do not install microsoft security essentials... always wait for reviews about windows patches or update packs!! Done! :)

    Well as long as you got a good BIOS mod, you should be able to use and update the system as a regular legit user. Security Essentials and Windows Update is running fine here with all updates, including KB971033 installed ;)

    It's possible that you can overcome it. But in case something happen, don't install it, and don't set automate update.

    The US still gets judged for having slavery even though lots of other European nations did it (we just continued it longer)...I am still amazed that countries like Spain and the US are not harshly judged for their actions against the native peoples of the Americas...look at the civilizations that were changed forever and exploited.

    I sincerely hope this was an april fool's joke....hopefully my computer is safe :)
