      I, and at least one other, am using SpyBot AntiBeacon http://tinyurl.com/nzjh8aa which claims to work with W7 and W8.1 as well as W10. I cannot say any more than a) it claims to block telemetry sites and b) it hasn’t given me any cause for concern so far,

    • I have MWB scheduled to scan every day and it checks for updates regularly, so either I’ve been lucky on the timing or it’s ‘cos I’m not running MSE.

    • Am I right in saying that the problem with MWB only occurs if MSE is being used as well? I’m also running MWB AntiExploit but don’t use MSE and have experienced no issues so far. (I may regret that statement!)

      Can’t speak for Woody, but it would be good if you could report the above in any ‘Telemetry’ forum/subforum that Woody sets up in the near future, then it’s easily available for posterity. I for one look forward to seeing your work.

    • @AJ thanks for the heads up on Belarc. It’s a long time since I used it but I ran it today and you’re right, it does show my pc as fully patched, whereas Secunia still shows the MSUpdate rollup patch. So Secunia stays to monitor other software and (whilst I remain in Group B, and as Woody said originally) I’ll take the proverbial pinch of salt with what it reports on MS patches.

      1.General (eg About Woody, Forum rules, Sign-up link etc)
      2.Monthly updates (Group A/B/W, Use of MS Catalog, Patches by month)
      3.Windows (General eg Speedup patches, Telemetry , W7, W8.1, W10, Other?)
      4.Other OS – just in case
      5. Anti Virus (General and Specific eg MS, 3rd party by name – Avast, Norton, MWB etc
      7.Off Topic

      All forums and subforums to have ‘sticky’ topics at top (sorry, I did take Latin at school but pedantry can go only so far regarding fora!)

      Just my thoughts 🙂

    • Group B (security patch only) with MWB Pro and no problems to date. Let’s hope it continues that way.

    • Yeah that happened to me too. Completed update on reboot. That was on x64. X86 machine worked fine .

    • That’s happened to me both last and this month. After installing the Security Only patch, both MS Update and Secunia continue to show the rollup patch. Don’t worry about it – I’m not!

      Double, double toil and trouble;
      Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

      By the pricking of my thumbs,
      Something wicked this way comes.
      Fasten locks,
      M$ KB’s doth knock!
