For those of us who do not want Windows 10, will an update force it upon us?

I am running GWX Control Panel, fwiw

Good question. And another good question is what should people who are still running XP or Vista do? Both of those questions are above my pay grade. I hope some experts here on FR will weigh in.

But the article says that this particular malware is spread by cleverly-worded emails. So the old rule applies. Don’t open suspicious emails.

And now be more suspicious than ever.

GWX Control Panel (at least the version I'm running) will allow you to enable Windows 7 updates while still disabling the Windows 10 stuff.

Even with Windows 7 Updates turned off, I still get occasional ‘critical’ updates.
