Funny how there is no re-occurring OS validation check with XP, Vista or
7 until or unless you install that one, just released update. His remark
pre-dates that update.

I'm not the *DUMB FUCK* in here covering for (ass kissing?) that known
and admitted lying cock sucking son of bitch spamming linturd troll
alias. That idiot would be you.
Now you're the one in the fucking hole trying to dig himself out using a
shovel.
Keep it up asshole, it entertaining to watch!
Big oops...LOL!

It is certainly true that I saw that message. Those may not be the exact
words but that is what I remember of it.

Microsoft Security Essentials validated before installing as you say.
It may be coincidental that I received the message while updating the
signatures db.

I note that under the Basic Membership of Microsoft SpyNet, MSE will send
info to Microsoft about software that the system detects. I wonder if it
could be connected with this?
