KB905474

[Guest]

Back on 4/26 we downloaded the Critical Update KB 905474 which dealt with the
authentication of Windows program. I see there is another download of
KB905474. Is this correct? Is this KB 905474 going to be downloaded regularly?

You installed 905474 a few weeks ago. Did you then disable the
notifications (see "How to uninstall Windows Genuine Advantage
Notifications" in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=905474)?

Does Windows Update or Automatic Updates offer it to you again?

Thank you.
We did not see a notifications last time we downloaded the KB 905474. We
just downloaded it and then nothing happened. We made a post that nothing
happened and someone responded by saying that nothing would happen if
everything was okay. That's why we were surprised to see another DL for KB
905474 again. (We went to Add/Remove and see the KB 905474, but notation
stating it could not be removed. We did not see anything about notifications
or notifier.

AFAIK, an updated version of WGA Notifications hasn't been released...yet.

Thank you.
What do we do now? Do we have to download this KB 905474 again (and again...)?
(We presume the same thing will happen on our grandchildren's computers and
want to tell them what to do also.)

I chose not to download it and checked the -Do not notify me of this update
again- box. It hasn't been offered to me since;however MS puts up an
annoying yellow warning stating that I have blocked a "high priority" update
and that my computer could be at risk. Yea, could be at risk from the
spyware that KB905474 actually is;but they don't want you to know that part
of it.
