Microsoft Pushes Out a Silent Windows Update

Get off my lawn! Jeez I kinda feel violated.

Microsoft apparently pushed out a Windows Update a few weeks ago of which no one had been notified. There were 9 files, on both XP and Vista, pertaining to the Windows Update process which were modified. All the files reside in the WindowsSystem32 folder on your machine.

So why is this such a big deal? As it turns out this update was sent to all Windows computers, even those that have the automatic installation of Windows Updates disabled.
