Windows 7 Anti-Piracy Update Is Now Live, Pirates Can Still Avoid It

Seeing as I couldn't restore to a point before the update took place, the best I could do was uninstall the update afterward. However, now I am stuck with "windows copy is not genuine" crap. Is there anyway to revert it to the same as before?

Yeah, uninstalling ain't working with this... Like the previous mate I'm stuck with this... Had been using an OEM version BTW...
Any ideas lads??
Cheers

So then how do I make it all go away? I bought Windows 7 as part of a repair... now bloody this... I am not going to pay for it again...

Not sure if it will work after the OS has been broken I'm yet to test that part.

• Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\Local Security policy
• From there click on Software Restriction Policies then right click and create new
• click on additional rules
• Create 2 hash Rules Or path rules. I prefer hash because if the file moves it is still denied.
  C:\Windows\System32\Wat\WatAdminSvc
  C:\Windows\System32\Wat\WatUX
• Restart

Your are done.

i hav windows7 ultimate installed on my laptop. i observed dat it restarts automatically after every 2 hrs. dis prob has started in dis month. m using OEm version.

i hv stopped automatic updates. but still prob persists...wat 2 do?

I did buy my MS windows 7, but it seems that as of today i cant run any of my pirated software, this includes all of adobe cs4, 3ds max, and autodesk maya. Does this update affect those things too? Or just pirated windows 7 copies? help would be MUCH appreciated as i use those programs for school.

hey guys

i have a crack copy of windows 7 i was just reading that you can't install cracked software
i haven't had that problem
if you have try this

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx?runGenuineCheck=true&system=9&lang=1&buttonClicked=winXpMode

every program that you install on it you can run on windows 7

morning can somebody help me to crack my windows 7 ultimate build 7100

back up all of ur files and programs to an external harddrive and re-install windows 7 this time when installed for update make sure u select the option where it asks u to download and install instead of automatic..... i did this and installed all but the update above and its problem solved for me guys!

can't you just save your files on a different hard drive on your pc rather than OS. then re-install windows seven and avoid this specific update. I have multiple partitions on my hard drive so can't i just save everything to the other ones that do not have the OS installed on it.

dear sir all the things here in your site its still not working for my windows 7 ultimate. every thing i boot up the pc i keeps on popping the prompt your windows is not genuine. what shall i do?
it is very hard for me to do this things, what shall possible solutions are there? or how can i remove this popping prompts every time i boot the pc. thanks and more power Gobless po

Do not be stupid, use Linux, is a great "piece" of software.

I just reinstalled Dub7 Ultimate. Now, if I manually download and install all updates EXCEPT KB971033 I'll be ok? Should I avoid any others?

I only heard recently about this update which I have already installed on my pc. However I haven't got any problems yet concerning the authenticity of my windows 7 ultimate x64. Do you think I can just uninstall it before I get any? Will it work?

For those of you that are running pirated Windows 7 and are being plagued with pop-ups from Microsoft repeatedly reminding you of the fact. Download and run WAT remover 2.2.5. This is freeware by Hazar. This will remove the Build 7600 This is not ....etc' crap from your home screen and prevent the pop-ups that spoil streaming TV. You will still need to untick KB971033 every time before you shut down or alternatively turn off windows updates completely.

This particular update does not take no for an answer. If like me you have 'Windows update' set to advise before installing and if you then un-tick the update box windows will acknowledge your instruction and then proceed to install it anyway!
I have now set my windows updates to 'advise before downloading' so that I can cut it off at the canyon!
You can easily uninstall KB971033 so no great problem but it's the obstinacy of Microsoft and their principle that they must be the final arbitrator of what must be installed that irritates.

you can hide the update and it wont install it at all.

Just activated mine and the loader doesn't even touch the WAT...still activated and fully updated. This was not a free tool and for those who want it can contact me at deathshead1022yahoo [dot] com for purchasing details.

can someone please post what update adds red bars to microsoft office 2010 when you don't want to waste time calling in every time you do a recovery & have to re-install it, it gets frustrating for ppl who actually bought the software. It just says "microsoft activation failed" Note though that it was already activated & working fine until some update installed from windows update.

Easy steps

1. Remove KB971033

2. Download and run removeWAT

3. Change Windows Update settings to "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them". This option actually downloads the updates but doesn't install them. Also untick recommended updates in the same dialogue box.

The other option is a LIE "Download updates and let me choose whether to install them". It seems to reinstall KB971033 automatically.

4. Whenever you're ready just untick KB971033 from the update list and install the rest of your updates.

Never had a problem with this method.

I used it on my windows 7 ultimate and it worked!

I had windows popping up and saying "you may be a victim of counterfeiting software". After i ran WAT it worked the window stopped showing.

I downloaded this installation yesterday after being told by Windows it was a "Critical update" Didn't even consider it would cause so many problems.

First sign something was wrong was when Windows refused to work any more (no warnings, no errors, no problems detected) in normal mode. Only in Safe mode would it boot up. System Restore failed to work consistently, and loading up windows in normal mode only resulted in a black screen or windows loading and then semi-freezing when I clicked on anything until I was told that "Microsoft had an error".

Went online on my mothers computer and found out about this update. Went to uninstall all updates in case they were causing problems. Uninstalling the one above is the only one that would not allow. The left click on it refused to work and uninstalling the others only resulted in my computer telling me "Updating windows please do not close your computer" and semi-freezing there (mouse worked fine, little dots by the do not close computer moving happily, no sound or sign of
activity from the actual laptop), for both normal mode -and- safe mode.

Only solution was to reset the laptop to it's factory settings and thank the Lord that Toshiba had installed that option as when I bought the laptop it did not come with it's own Original Operating System disc.

Problems however are not completely over. now for some reason my laptop won't allow me to update my Wireless LAN driver telling me that it's "not supported by this operating system"...
Can this update cause problems? Yes.

I'm actually a little jealous of the people who are only stating they get an annoying popup now and again....

Reb.

Doesn't anyone back up their systems? I'm talking about a DR backup, not just copying your files to the internet. This is a no-brainer, people, and this is one of the best reasons for it.

Windows breaks? Spent more than 5 minutes trying to fix it? Pop in the CD, restore the OS image, restart, and you're back in business 30 minutes later
