Microsoft update wizard: now you no longer need to constantly check for updates, the update wizard will automaticaly install the latest updates and charge your account, if the account contains insuffiecient money then the Microsoft security system will be activated.
other utilities are available for a small* charge and will be installed automaticaly with no warning whenever you select a usefull looking menu option, please be aware that in order to enhance you user experience non of these options can be disabled without activating the Microsoft security system.
