MS UPDATE IS MY NEMESIS!

[Mikie]

Hi,
I should like to know how to re-configure my MS Updates so that I
become MASTER of my PC, instead of MS. They loading stuff that I don't
want, namely, GenuineAdvantage!

I searched on the MS's online Update site and couldn't find the way!

ThanX very much, as always for the great help!!!!

Control Panel - Security Center and change the security settings for
Automatic Updates to "Notify me but don't automatically download or
install them" or shut off Automatic Updates entirely.

Note that you will not be able to manually download any Windows
Updates unless and until you have validated your Windows XP (=Genuine
Advantage).

Good luck
