WGA Notification - Deny Phone Home Update


Image
I was just going to run windows update on my work laptop fully knowing that I should avoid the KB905474-Windows Genuine Advantage Notification update. That particular one is the spyware one that calls home to M$ periodically. While poking around I noticed the ability to check a Don't show this update again option which I readily clicked. Check the screen shot. Microsoft must be feeling the PR pressure.

It makes me glad I use Linux!

Oh, be sure to do a Custom type of upgrade vs. the Express upgrade or you won't get a choice in the matter and the bad update will just get installed.
