    Can you still see it in your hidden updates?

    No,its gone, I am going to post both the hidden ones and the ones that are available after running windows update. I'm also going to post WGAdiag report and I was informed that it was NOT installed based on that report..

    Looks like MS may have pulled it. I guess the trial run is over.

    Looks like it could be possible.. I would still like to hear from someone else that didn't install it to see if it is gone for them as well..........

    I stand corrected....... after a reboot it is in fact gone... not hidden, but entirely gone.


    Strange

    Mine has gone as well. I think that what happens is that the update is downloaded and installed (manually this time, but I suspect it will subsequently be automatic). This program is then executed according to its schedule. The first time, it checks certain system files against its database to make sure that they are genuine. If they are, your computer successfully passes validation. If not, your computer fails validation and is flagged as non-genuine. If this happens, you can follow the on screen instructions to restore your system's genuine status. About a week after this first run, the program runs again. This time, it gathers information about certain files which are then used to update the program's definitions. This should prevent the likelihood of too many false positives, and will also take into account the new hacks and activation exploits that are around. These are sent anonymously to Microsoft and then the program is automatically deleted as it has now done its job for this current period. About 3 months later, the whole process will be repeated. A new version of the program will be downloaded and installed. This will include new definitions as defined by the information received by Microsoft from the second running of this program on the previous occasion. This timescale is subject to change by Microsoft and may possibly change from time to time..
