So I've been feeling pretty sick all afternoon, stomach pains and nausea. I decided to go to bed early, so at 8:30 or so, I started getting ready to go to sleep. I go turn off my computer and realize that I have one important update which needs to be installed. I don't even think twice and just let it install while I go brush my teeth.
When I come back, my desktop wallpaper is gone, and I have a nice big watermark in the lower right telling me that my Windows isn't genuine. Great, I willingly installed the KB971033 update.
For the past hour, I've been trying to figure out how to get things back to normal. I managed to get rid of the watermark, but I still can't figure out how to get rid of the damn update or even validate my Windows 7 again. I'll apparently also need to download a new anti virus program, since MSE will only run on a certified machine.
Fantastic.
