    are there any clues as to what a modded bios *should* look like now i mean is there anything we can check besides date to have a good chance of passing?

    Secr9tos, your post should be "Marked as Answer";. I really don't know what is the fuss about this WAT. BIOS mod is safe and for loaders, Hazar and Daz are active, so don't worry. LOL, 75 guests. I bet one half is from MS and other from the *F*B*I*. :):):)

    Hey mates. i have a question. i installed a copy of windows7 with no crack or loader (it automatically inserted a OEM key i'm guessing because it was ACTIVATED automatically), would i recieve any of those problems from the update even though I did not use any loaders, etc. ?? please reply. thanks mates.

    If this detects bios mods or not is still something that only time will tell. It is possible that it will but a lot depends on how serious MS is about going after them. I tried it on an older machine with a bios mod and it did not cause any problems. Maybe because the server isn't up and running, maybe not. I left it for a day then restored the computer from a backup image to get rid of it. Will try it again after it is released and see what happens, I can always roll back to the backup image and get rid of it anyway.

    At any rate, it is currently voluntary, so would not appear to be that much of a current issue. Giving lots of time to figure out what it can detect and what it can not. MS probably made this voluntary while they work out the glitches and figure out how far they can push this. Being a voluntary update also cuts down on the flack they will hear and a lot of people will install it without knowing what it is; giving them lots of test machines. I think it is very likely that this will be rolled into the first service pack and you will either have it installed or have to forget about installing the service pack. At that point, MS is more likely to clamp down harder

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I am still on the regular 30day trial and haven't touched my system yet with any loaders or such.

    Yesterday and today, slui.exe has been activating itself and bugging me about activating windows. Is this part of windows 7 or something that crept into my pc? I've downloaded all the updates that were available. I have NOT (thankfully) been given the option of the WAT update. And yes, I do have automatic updates disabled. =)

    Thanks for any help given!

    Link forwarded. Check PM. Some AVs detect it as malware, but it isn't. Trust me.

    probably a bug in this unofficial update. I would wait for the one on Feb 17 and install that one.
