Bing Bar BS!

Well it seems one must now turn off the automatic updating within Windows 7, just as I had always suggested this in XP and then Vista. Now that Microsoft has found the "Bing Bar" as being considered a "critical update".. the problem is, it isn't a critical update if the program has not been installed but because it was pushed out with other windows updates, now that there are security issues and now a patch available, it becomes a critical update.  Do yourself a favour and not only uninstall the Bing Bar if you haven't done so already, but also turn off the automatic updating of windows. Set it to notify but do not download. That way you can see just what is going to be installed if you go ahead with the various windows updates.
