Microsoft关闭Autopatcher

8月 30th, 2007 | Author: syber | In Windows, ghacks, 操作系统 | Print This Post Print This Post | Permalink

我曾几次写过有关Autopatcher的文章,介绍这个能自动更新Microsoft操作系统补丁的工具。这个方式具有很多方便的地方:节约带宽(如果你更新不止一个操作系统的话),不需要在Microsoft主页上更新补丁。

有一个非常重要的注意事项,从理论上讲在访问Microsoft网站下载补丁(如果不适用)有可能攻击一个未打补丁的系统。(特别是多台电脑)一些用户不喜欢直接连接Microsoft的服务器下载补丁,这是有关隐私权的问题。

Microsoft立刻关闭了Autopatcher下载主页,主要原因是它要确保只有在它的服务器上才能下载。奇怪的是运转了四年它才关闭下载,很多用户担心真伪Windows验证这种强制行为。

Neowin网站的管理员为此与Microsoft联系提出了相同的问题,并收到了下面的回答:
“I asked the representative if Windows Genuine Advantage had anything to do with it and he categorically told me this was not the case, he added that Windows Update for pre-Vista versions of Windows can now be accessed using Firefox and that the concern at Microsoft had more to do with the possible malicious code that could be redistributed with certified Microsoft updates”

这的确是一个悲伤的日子。

注: WGA(Windows Genuine Advantage):真伪Windows验正
