Here is how to keep Microsoft's nose "out" of your personal computer and from invading your privancy -

1) After you have installed the new Windows Genuine Active X control in IE select "tools", "manage Add-ons".
2) This will bring up the manage add-ons window that allows you to enable or disable any installed module.You have two options to view the modules: Add-ons that currently loaded by Internet Explorer and add-ons that have been used by internet explorer. Select whichever on lists Windows Genuine Advantage.

3) Click on Windows Genuine Advantage to select it and click Disable.

Congratulations - you now have full access to windows updates "without" Microsoft helping themselves to your PC as if they own it - and your privacy.
