Aggiornamenti fantasma di M$

E' ormai sicuro: M$ aggiorna i propri sistemi operativi senza il consenso dei proprio utenti con aggiornamenti "fantasma"; questo ce lo dice keznews che ci fornisce anche un elenco dei file che vengono modificati all' insaputa di tutti noi!

Riporto interamente l' articolo di keznews:

At the PC Doc HQ we have several systems set not to update automatically. This is so that they are kept at a specific patch level for testing duties. Many of these systems are virtual machines but some are physical. When I heard about this stealth update I decided to take a look at one of these systems that don’t update automatically (it was set to download and notify) - and within seconds I found what I was looking for.

Which files are updated depends on the OS you are running. The updated files on Vista are:

* wuapi.dll
* wuapp.exe
* wuauclt.exe
* wuaueng.dll
* wucltux.dll
* wudriver.dll
* wups.dll
* wups2.dll
* wuwebv.dll

And on XP SP2:

* cdm.dll
* wuapi.dll
* wuauclt.exe
* wuaucpl.cpl
* wuaueng.dll
* wucltui.dll
* wups.dll
* wups2.dll
* wuweb.dll

The test system was running Windows XP SP2. Reports and rumors suggest that this update was being pushed out on or around the 24th of August so I fired up Event Viewer and scrolled down to this date … and here’s what I found:

Here’s the entry showing the update kicking off.
