[Ham-Computers] RE: Avoid one of the "Critical" Windows Updates...

[Hsu, Aaron (NBC Universal)]

A better, more in-depth description of what the WGA Notification Tool
does can be found here:

Scroll down to the "Genuine Advantage is Microsoft spyware" story.

BTW, Windows Secrets is a great newsletter.  I've been reading Brian
Livingston's articles for years and much of the knowledge I've gained
was by reading his "Windows Secrets" column in InfoWorld.  I recommend
subscribing to the Windows Secrets newsletter.  The free e-mail
newsletter is the same as what's published on the website, but by
receiving it via e-mail, you won't miss an article.  There's also a
"paid" version of the newsletter - you donate *any* amount (even a buck)
you want for a 1-year subscription.  The "paid" version includes more
in-depth articles and security reports...well worth even 10 bucks.

And, while I'm "pimping" newsletters <g>, another good one is the
"GripLine" from Infoworld.  Ed Foster takes a look at what irks people
the most about computer related issues.  The website is here:
http://weblog.infoworld.com/foster/ and you subscribe to the e-mailed
version.

73 all,
