Microsoft accused of Windows 10 upgrade 'nasty trick'

[csziggy]

4. I ran the GRC program to remove the Windows 10 update malware

Never10: https://www.grc.com/never10.htm What is nice about GRC's Never10 is that it does not install anything. You run it, it does it's thing and that's it. The executable remains on your hard drive but you can delete it without undoing what it has done.

Not only does it block the update, it removes the multiple gigabyte files that Microsoft loads on your computer prior to the "upgrade."

I may go to Windows 10 soon, but I want it to be on MY schedule not Microsoft's. I need to make a full backup of my system software, backup my data, and verify that ALL my programs are Windows 10 compatible before I let Microsoft run this thing.
