How can I remove this update? You cannot apparently use Add/Remove programs
and I am upset that this is even possible. I don't want ANY additional
garbage on my system that I don't need.

please help!

On a separate note - Why would they even release an update if you can't
remove it!! I had to back out of SP2 when it first came out because it
stopped Pro Tools from running!

There is an Yahoo news article that says that the use of WGA
is a "pilot" program and that it was slowly being rolled out.
AFAIK, it is now in its 4th revision in a very short period
of time and that it was released as a "critical" update. Too
bad that Automatic Updates uploaded and installed it. People
need to take control of their own systems.

An uninstallation isn't available by default. In case you wanna remove
that "Beta" update:
