remove the windows update from add/remove. It's usually at the end of the add/remove as windows update "Blah"

And if it was completely automatic and you don't remember what it was, I believe there's a way to check what the latest updates you've installed are on the Windows Update web page.

[jamesorr81]

yeah. out there on the update page you can show what ones were installed by what date I believe. I have mine set to always ask me about it. Cause I don't want some of them. ARR.

[coraljune]

Yeah. I have mine set to download them, but not to install without my express permission. Trouble is, I never know if it's something I need or not, so I end up caving and installing them after a few days of the annoying popup in my taskbar telling me I have new Windows Updates to install and that the world will end if I don't. Stupid Microsoft.

How do you tell which ones you want?

will tell you if you're wondering what it really does.

I tend to avoid the windows genuine advantage ones for anonymity related reasons. Yarr.

I actually went through and read everything I could find on Windows Genuine Advantage and decided it was fine (seeing as I'm running a legitimate copy of Windows).

Oh, I'm plenty *avast, matey*, and I haven't been party v& yet.
