Microsoft Spying on You

Microsoft is up to their old tricks again. As reported by Forbes, the company is automatically installing tracking software on Windows 7 and Windows 8 devices. By re-branding certain updates as critical, computers that automatically receive system critical updates for security purposes fall trap to this scheme.

Over the years, Microsoft has tried many tricks to maintain its market share around the home and office including even downloading Windows 10 installs without permission. Each time they lower themselves this way, they invite distrust among their loyal following. If my computer was not loaded with Windows-based software I need everyday for the job, I would think twice before buying another PC.
