I keep getting bugged to allow this 1.2mb update to download. it is
supposed to tell me if the copy of Windows XP Pro that came on my Dell
computer is genuine. Is there any reason so suspect that Dell is selling
computers loaaded with fake or bootleg compies of Windows?
The blurb also promises that if it finds my copy is fake--of course mine is
not--it will help me obtain a genuine copy. As in "buy" one? Considering
that you can walk into any computer store and buy one, is this "upgrade"
going to disable your bootleg Windows until you cough up the $$$?
I figure I ought to allow updates that sound like they are actually
upgrading something that seems important to me, even if I don't really
understand them. But this doesn't sound like an update to me.
I get bugged by this notification each time I start my computer. Is there
anyway to disable this particular notice without simply getting rid of all
updates that might be forthcoming?
