I installed two updates today on a Windows 7 machine. One was KB3035583, which was purported to fix problems with Windows. The other was a malware definitions update.
KB3035583 turned out to be Microsoft's Marketing Malware known as Get Windows 10. It did not fix anything, it misrepresented itself to get installed, and it has created problems (q.v.).
In the old days, we could set kill bits on Active X controls that were effectively malware or dangerous. I'd like to include KB3035583 in a similar list on this machine and my other test machines.
How does one Blacklist a patch based on Knowledge Based/KB number?
