Why am I prompted to download and install this update Windows Genuine
Advantage all the time?
I have had to install this 6 times so far, I have a legal copy and it's
beginning to annoy me.

This part of the page isn't very encouraging:

sure your definition files are up-to-date for your antivirus and/or
anti-spyware software before continuing."

Microsoft seems to have blocked Opera from running update. It's too bad that
