Me too.
After a Vista reboot, it said "installing updates". I only ran the WGA update and looked at what was available....no installs. Rebooted a few mins later then saw this message.
What the hell is MS$ doing?

Some people give in too easily. I have a valid XP Pro install which I barely boot up anymore, that I just updated to the latest round of patches (I usually wait a few days to see what breaks what). No WGA, no Validation tool, no problem.
There are a lot of ways to keep up-to-date without WU - it just requires a little motivation, and a little bit of working through all the FUD that gets posted in threads like these.
Or, you can just let MS handle it, and if so, don't b1tc# when you get a 'prize' in your Cracker Jacks. You wanted it, you really did, you just didn't know it until MS told you.
p s - I was surprised to see spell check let 'b1tc# pass - go figure

What other "crap" comes with WGA?
WGA plus the activeX control seem to be all that is installed. Of course Windows Update v4 but that is a separate Program.
Did you check for system instability yourself or is this something you read?

Yes, you can peruse the catalog from Version 4 but you can't get personalized information (and to store history) for what you need for your computer. To get that, you have to install WGA and all the other crap and not use Version 4. Besides, when you refuse the updates which include WGA, Version 4 becomes unstable and frequently will freeze or crash.
So, seems to me that something like Belarc Advisor is better because it keeps track of what patches you already have and what ones you need and unlike MSBA it doesn't require WGA.

Interesting. How come it doesn't detect my current installed updates and I have to click on options? Is that normal?

As long as we're ranting, I've always been annoyed by this cute weasel-language in these bulletins:
said by Microsoft :
n a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a Web site that contains a Web page that is used to exploit this vulnerability ... an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these Web sites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail message or Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's Web site.
Of course it's literally true that "an attacker would have no way to force users to visit" an infective page. The other way of looking at it is that the only way to avoid the problem while using the affected software, is to avoid all web use altogether. The fact that "an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these Web sites" is not a "mitigating factor" as Microsoft calls it unless you already knew in advance which sites are hosting the malware, which obviously is never the case. |

Yup, on my my old P3-366 it took longer to install BA than to get the report.
From install to report was less than one minute.
Odd though, BA says I have 64 (!!!) missing M$ updates?!
Granted, most of them listed are non-critical and some are for things that have been mitigated otherwise, but how the heck can that be?

I can confirm that this time new WGA was pushed once again on my computer.
Here is my collection of WGA's (LegitCheckControl.DLL):
•1.5.526.0; 555,824 bytes; 2006-04-10 12:00:34
•1.5.530.0; 579,888 bytes; 2006-05-17 10:23:38

I must admit they're working hard on this one...
It's interesting to know why WU needs considerably more time (this time it was around 1:40) to get the same list of updates required for my computer comparing to Belarc Advisor (it took around 20 sec). Notice, that in 20 sec Belarc makes not only the list of updates required (as WU does), but also analyzes and provides detailed info about all hardware of my computer, all installed software packages, all keys, all users, and lot more interesting stuff...
Then the simple question arises - what WU is doing all that time?
