微軟在Windows裡放後門又被抓包

內容大意是說有些人的windows本身沒設置自動更新,也沒上windows updata,結果居然有hotfix被悄悄的更新了...
接著ZD NET也證實了這項消息
針對這次的更新,微軟的說法是他們更新的是Windows Updata,認為這樣子做不會打擾到使用者..

Windows Update pushes out "stealth" updates, Microsoft explains

Microsoft kicked up a bit of a stir recently, when it began what appeared to be a practice of updating files on individuals' computers even when they had turned off the automatic update feature in Windows XP and Vista. That first came to light courtesy of the folks at the "Windows Secrets" newsletter, which found that nine files in XP and Vista were changed on or after August 24th, with no notification of the changes in Windows whatsoever. That was later confirmed by ZDNET's Hardware 2.0 blog, which tracked down the affected files and also pinpointed the update date as August 24th. Now, Microsoft has come out and explained itself, saying that the updates weren't really updates for Windows, but rather updates for Windows Update itself, which apparently didn't merit a notification. The company does admit that it could have been more "transparent" about the matter, however, and says it's now "looking at the best way to clarify" the behavior of Windows Update.
