    Recent Disturbing Experience with Windows Update and WATU

    On 24 Feb 10, the program dllhost.exe began activating and then closing on my Win7 system over a half-hour period. This has NEVER happened before. At first I though there was a worm/virus happening, so I began scanning the system with various tools. Nothing was found. When I finally turned off my computer, it showed that there were updates that would be installed. Since I ALWAYS have Windows Update set to ONLY NOTIFY ME of updates, I immediately became worried that something else wasn't right.

    I immediately restarted the computer and went to Windows Update. There I found that the setting had been change to "automatically download and install updates" and that two updates listed as important had been installed at the previous shutdown. The infamous KB971033 was listed an an option ready for install, which I then set to "hide" and also reset the update operation to ONLY NOTIFY.

    Evidently, micro$oft remotely accessed my computer and reset the Windows Update configuration via dllhost.exe.

    I now use the firewall to block internet traffic when I'm not at the computer.

    I was wondering if someone may help me. The Jit Debugger stills interferes when I try to use RemoveWat (2.2.5). And it just stays at 1/10 of a green bar when I press continue. Does anyone else have this problem :[? Thank you

    Help!

    I had an earlier version of RemovWat installed and can't remember which it was, possibly the first one. Anyway, I installed Hazar's latest 2.2.5 without uninstalling the first one. Everything went fine and I was told to reboot.

    After the reboot the dialog box appeared informing me that new updates were available and since I had the settings set to inform me to download and install, I clicked on updates and to my utter astonishment I saw that KB971033 had been successfully installed!!!

    I ran MGADiag and it said that I was genuine. Can someone explain what could have possibly happened. Thanks

    Nice Fix :) I always thought activation was a bug. MGADiag says everything is genuine, but is it normal to still get the licensing pop-up when opening the control panel?
