Gaming Windows 7 pirates beware

[DeviousTom]

Oh lol, yeah I just did a "Check for updates" and found 6 updates, all titled Update for Windows 7, and I was about to install because I didn't see "Windows Activation Technologies Update for Windows 7", but then I caught a glimpse of "Activation" in one of the update descriptions (that I just randomly clicked on), and saw that it was the Windows Activation Technologies update, lucky me : D.

W7 is one of the few iterations that is worth actually buying. With the special discount for students (and if you aren't a student, certainly you know one) you can get it legitimately for next to nothing. Home Premium will be more than enough for most users. If you need XP Virtualization, there are other solutions other than the Microsoft version, and bitlocker is a great idea, but not worth shelling out the extra cash when there is you know, a free encryption technology out there.

Hope that helps.

Wtf... Alright, so now, yesterday I chose not to install the update, and I turned off my laptop. To my surprise, I turned on my laptop today, and somehow my update settings were changed to "Automatic" and the activation technologies was installed, cool now it wants me to shutdown : (.

Wierd.... I was prepared to face the "the version of windows is not genuine" pop-up after my comp updated. I turn it on and to my surprise I'm still legit.

No, I'm not complaining.

 

[fgghjjkll]

olol. One of my laptops is still using build 7600 ultimate with 7loader. Will get a key off dad soon

all others are genuine and safe

EDIT: oshit. i'm an idiot for bumping this... what was i thinking?

 

[Joe88]

too late now

anyway installed update on both laptop and desktop and no problems

 

[MarioBrotha]

I just installed 3 'Windows Activation Update' or something like that. No problems, though I wasnt expecting any since my W7 came with my netbook

 

[thegame07]

I have the latest updates installed for windows 7 64 bit, no problems here.

 

[ProtoKun7]

Just told it to update mine, I have about 6 important updates and 1 optional update downloading now.

 

[Chris_Skylock]

My desktop running Vista Home Premium has downloaded the detector from before and it's not infected and it's running.

But im going legit this time and buy a Windows 7 OS if I have the money

 

[Deleted member 35947]

Updated mine on both my netbook and desktop. Both still legit.

I didn't install the update... I was careful not to... but it seems I've somehow been struck down... wtf? I swaer I turned off automatic updates and read every update info carefully.

However, today I notice the watermark on bottom right of desktop,
"windows 7
build 7600
this copy of windows is not genuine"

also, background gone black +1 popup notification already about needing to activate.

What do I do guys? Whats my best approach...?

Ask if anybody's part of the MSDN and can spare you a key.

best option is to look for a patch on the net or reinstall, which is a piece of cake

If you installed the update, simply uninstalling it, using a loader to repair your activation status, and reactivating with said loader should do it. If you didn't install the update, just use a loader to repair your activation status and reactivation should do it. I think the same thing might have happened to one of my computers a few months ago with a really really old loader.

[macgeek417]

On that note, why not just use OS 6.0.8? =D

Why not 7.5.3?

...or better yet...
System 0.85
Yes, 0.85 lol

removewat22.exe

Thanks homie

worked a charm!

I used that a while ago and it's great. Of course, I tested it on our school computers first!

Not a problem for me anymore. I bought windows 7 Ultimate from ebay for 30 dollars. For awhile I thought that was a scam but I guess not because He sent me a real key and it's tied to my computer now. Really good deal, that and I have to say that windows 7 is probably one of the few pieces of software that's worth buying.
