I'm still getting daily msse updates and today two new windows 7 updates.
I know that msse has been doctored on xp machines to appear not to update,
but this looks like an illusion at least for one of the two files it
downloads, and scanning continues and as long as you do the update even if
it says its failed it carries on going.
On windows 7, to stop the nag screen there is a scheduled task called end
of life which runs two tasks, notify 1 and notify2 which if disabled seem to
stop it from showing it, but of course Microsoft will no doubt send a new
update to stop this again at the end of January.
Pro machines like this one seem not to have had the screen yet, even though
the routine was actually installed in April.

Also while in use most windows 7 machines since the recent updates have
apparently started refreshing their screens, no matter what is running.
The
sighted may not see this except for perhaps a mouse position move, but
blind
users, if reading a document, find it stops the reading, as it changes
the
focus of the carat.
Similar things can happen if some alert is displayed, but there is no
alert, so I did wonder if this was in readiness for a mega nag after the
end
of January to **** off users.

Mine stopped updating ages ago. Now even the antivirus program (Security
Essentials) refuses to update its virus definitions. The machine continues
to work all right.
