My sister claims that Windows Update disabled her daughter’s PC.

by zookeeperz9 . Updated 17 years, 2 months ago

She had somebody build the pc years ago and they put xp on it, but apparently they used a generic license number.
She said that Windows Update scanned the pc and deleted some files and rendered it unbootable.
I told her I hadn’t heard of that happening, but had heard that MS had the ability to do that if they wanted.
I usually get an email newsletter with all those types of things listed and I haven’t seen it posted, and I also have an XP that MS considers non-Genuine, and that didn’t happen to my pc, so I am wondering if it is maybe a virus or worm that caused that.
