Even more annoyingly, if you do click on the windows flag and register...it doesn't go away.

Man, this thing is honestly terrible.
I went ahead and right-clicked the update and said "ignore" so I am no longer bothered by it.
Can't believe MS decided to be that intrusive.
Who owns this computer I work on anyway?
"...the rights to use Microsoft Windows..." I know I don't actually own the software just the license to use it. They can do whatever they want to me.
THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP!!!

Microsoft are in danger of 'peaing' off the people who made it number one, since Gates left & Ballamer (?) took over they have been focused on trying to get the trendy web based Apple using crowd (no offense!) crowd to jump ship over to Windows which is why we have the cluster elephant of Win 8 & Win 8.1. The PC is a work machine, it does work, not a life style like Apple. That is why XP is still hanging around (personally I would still be using it, but my XP PC died! )

Add to it that the Windows update that turned that f***ing thing on completely f***ed upmy father's computer. I tried about anything, but the package won't install for an obscure reason but also cannot be ignored, so it tried to install it, fails and reboot-deinstall it at every startup of the PC. All that for installing this GWX.exe, which is assumed a critical update package by Windows
Aaaarghhh !

{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}

MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Thanks for the heads up. I don't automatically install updates so I was able to look it up in the list and do the 'hide update' thing.

If so, did it disable shortcuts to 32bit versions of Chrome?
I've got a friends mothers lappie here and it looks like that's what happened... most odd.

Animated. Half a creature = 'anima', and animated is brought to life, and friend = 'mate', but more escapes me.

"Animates"?
You have just been Sharapova'd.

And the explanation? (The original was close, but...)

Half a creature -> Half(Animal) -> "Ani"
the friends -> "mates"
(they) bring things to life -> "Animates" (in simple present).
You have just been Sharapova'd.

That was a bit underhand.

I thought so, but...
Brady didn't get the right answer, so I have to accept the first correct one.

Poor form, poor form. Definitely not cricket! The definition should obviously be 'brings things to life' and the wordplay should be adjusted to suit, not the other way round! You wouldn't get away with it on rec.puzzles.crosswords let me tell you!!!
