When Microsoft sends updates to your computer, the intelligence agencies are really scanning your hard drive
Not only this, but it's so goddamn annoying when they send updates, my computer starts to freeze up and internet connection slows down!

Grrrr, fuck you Bill Gates, knight of the British Crown!

Eh... plausible. Don't forget the old _NSAKey issue in Windows from a few years ago.

Well, Gates is reported to have been knighted by the Queen of England, so it's likely that his corporation is being used by the secret intelligence agencies for malevolent purposes.

Like I say, when updates are sent to your PC on a regular basis, the intelligence agency's computers scan through your hard drive and look for any data pertaining to their secret agenda.

I seem to get updates almost every other day; I think that they want access to the data on your hard drive on a regular basis.

Yep, that would make it too suspicious to extract all of your data in one session. That's why the updates are regular, so that they can scan your hard drive a little bit each time.

If this were or is true, then almost any half-smart hacker should be able to capture the commands issued by the MS servers and the info sent from your in house machine to those servers as it flows over the network ports.

Since tracking what the MS Web Site asks for and what they send/receive is fairly simple to do - I'd like to see something definitive about this either published thru an independent research place specializing in computer software and security - but one that could not be bought, even by the US Government or Micro$oft themselves.

Until there is proof of such things happening or not happening, I wish these allegations of wrong doing would go away. Prove it or shut the fuck up, but stop slinging mud and allegations without something to back it up!

There is info off of your hard drive that Ms would legitimately need - like installed software and versions there of- type and power of processor, amount of memory present and available space on the hard disk. There may be more I am not aware of, but those would be the basics required to know what updated versions to install, etc.

Have you ever heard of cache servers or mirrors?

Akamai Technologies, Inc., is a company that provides a distributed computing platform for global Internet content and application delivery, whose headquarters are in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The company was founded in 1998 by then-MIT graduate student Daniel Lewin, along with MIT Applied Mathematics professor Tom Leighton and MIT Sloan School of Management students Jonathan Seelig and Preetish Nijhawan. Leighton still serves as Akamai's Chief Scientist, while Lewin was killed aboard American Airlines flight 11 which was crashed in the September 11 attacks of 2001. Akamai is a Hawaiian word meaning smart or intelligent.

So you've got my attention now what?

You need proof your a psychopath and in DIRE need alcoholic counseling?

I can't help you stop. I can't change the world.

Re: When Microsoft sends updates to your computer, the intelligence agencies are really scanning your hard drive
if you all believe they are scanning and uploading data then keep a packet sniffing program and monitor on your machine for ports data and such being uploaded and moved.. See if this is truly what is happening.

There are free and evaluation versions do some google searching for packet sniffer and you will find.. it will tell you want programs what port and data to see if what you think is happening is actually happening...

You're assuming that you, or any half smart hacker are fully aware of all of the intricacies of Micro Soft's operating systems.
