ms update (don't do it)

anyone get that microsoft validation update? I have my computer to do automatic updates and I got their stupid validation update this morning that sits in the toolbar and gives you annoying nag messages. Is there a way to uninstall this 'update'?

Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

All I can do for you.

Get HiJackThis, remove WGA references, delete said references from dllcache folder in sys32 folder, reboot.

Also set automatic updates to ignore it next time.
