GWX Ad Nauseam
This Bravo Sierra has gotten really old. At this point I’m tired of hearing about it.
I’ve talked about GWX many times. I’ve shown how to stop it.
Apparently some folks are having Win10 forced on them:
Windows 10 upgrade installing automatically on some Windows 7, 8 systems
Windows 10 upgrade nags become more aggressive, offer no opt-out

Facebook Ad Nauseam
Is there anyone that doesn’t know Facebook tries to track everything you do?

$470 Motherboard
I can’t imagine spending that much on a mobo but to each his own. The guys at [H] seem to like it.

Firefox 41.0.2
Mozilla has a security update for FF. Download or update from within the program.

    After your last post on GWX I checked for KB3035583 on my system. There it was, so I uninstalled it then went to windows update and hid the KB. Took my updates off of auto and set them to Check for updates but let me choose weather to download and install them.

    I looked today (after reading your article) on my Win 7 machine and the hidden update is back active, but did not install. I hid it again and if it comes back I am going to change it to never check for updates and see what happens.
