Has anyone else noticed that in the last few days a nag screen has started

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.

W7 32 bit pro is still updating (if you call 180meg. downloads an
update!)

In Firefox, I find screens can *jump* when reading BBC news articles. I
assumed this was further content being added above where I had reached.
