imo-
the update tool is anot an anit-virus protection exe, it only updates.
therefore turning it off actually halep reduce backdoor intruesion. because
inorder for the update to install on their own the VP-prgm has to be disable
for that period of time, so I have always did the notify selction and I open
the so call back door.
the fix does work from the posting by greg.

My recommendation is that you DO NOT do anything that would cause Vista
to attempt to validate, such as downloading software from MS that
requires validation.
WGA critics, let's here what you have to say.
Nothing much, it wasn't "If" but "When".
You might add turn off auto updating completely, thereby leaving
yourself vulnerable to any zero day exploits, but of course (Hopefully)

Do NOT turn your machine off at all if you don't have to.
MS CANNOT MANAGE ONE SERVER!
Why in hell would anyone entrust their business to such a ramshackle
organization that cannot fix one server "Until Monday".
They have no backups? No system for on the fly replacement? No redundancy?
Something stinks here, badly.
