Hold on folks, this is nothing new: all that they did was make a new
version of the genuine checker (legitcheckcontrol.dll), and WU wants to
update that before it will proceed. They've done that DOZENS of times in
the past. This DLL is not the same as the WGA _NOTIFICATION_ beast,
which
is still offered when you do a CUSTOM update, and you can still uncheck
that so you don't have to get it (if you do an EXPRESS or AUTOMATIC
update
you will get it, just as before, since it's considered "critical").

NOTHING HAS CHANGED, just the dll's version number.


Considering I just reinstalled XP on one computer, I have no WGA on it and
don't have any plans to put it on it either.

You have no choice if downloading any XP update.
