Disabling code here

I run genuine Windows on all PCs here, but I object to potential 
time-bombs being loaded into my systems. I used to run full 
auto-update but, after several recent updates started trashing several 
PCs here I now view them 1st and load only if they appear relevant. 
When WGA first arrived I read it's bio and decided it had no value or 
use in my systems and didn't run it. Looks like that was the right 
choice.
