i just uninstalled this update in the way it was described above on a pirated copy of win7 64bits – all went smooth and after restart the not genuine nagging screen just dissapeared. Thanks for your info!

I just hunted down the update, and uninstalled it. Pretty easy to do. Make sure the KB971033 file is not hiding in a security update package like mine. Luckly It didn’t catch anything…

So you can hide the update before its been installed but you can’t delete it once its installed?? why would that do that? =( this makes me very sad, the pop ups are so annoying. I can’t find my update on the list or anywhere but I know its on here somewhere!

That’s right, there’s no way to uninstall this THING :( this black background is just so depressing, but at least it’s working…

The fact that Microsoft has given the option to turn off or un-select an update that is supposed to combat OS piracy tells me MS really does not care about those few who have the motivation (for what ever reason)to crack their Windows 7 OS…I suppose the only reason MS puts on a show of anti-piracy is to appease the OEM’s..If MS did not pretend to be concerned about OS piracy the OEM’s who give MS Billions of dollars every year would be kicking and screaming and wanting a huge discount..The overlords of Windows at the Redmond palace were once like those few who do crack and hack today and I’m sure those overlords smile at those who have the savy to crack their OS’s..I’ll go as far as to say that Mr. Gates himself tells his people to release an OS key 90 days form an OS’s Release just so he can watch from his Ivory tower as those who marvel at his creation try to exploit a way to get around the faux anti-piracy Schemes…Folks enjoy your cracked Windows 7 OS..Think of it as a gift from the Gods…MR.Gates thank you Sir..
