Dear Microsoft!
Unless you wish to subsidise my hardware, please stop messing with my computer.
Thank you.
Since the registry values are being changed, I wonder how effective a solution it is to "SCHTASKS /CREATE" a task to "REG ADD" all the values back in? I have just done this for the time being so I guess time will tell. I cannot think of a way to lock the value in the registry because of the privileges Windows Update has.
I had always told my friends in the past that Windows needs something like SELinux and this is one situation which would benefit from such a system. That way I can just write a rule to block a process from running. But I guess some Antivirus products have such a feature. Symantec has "Application Control" I think.
If anyone has any ideas, please tell!
