XD But the question is, does it reserve 20% of internet bandwidth, or 20% of LAN Bandwidth if you're on broadband, because my LAN is 100mbps but my internet is only 256kbps so if it reserved 20% of my LAN, it wouldtn effect my internet in the least.

When I tried it my net was cut for a day but when I changed the date it came back , I don't know if this happened because of what I did or it was just my bad connection . At all I have Tune UP utilities 2008 and it told me that QoS is set to 20 and asked me if I want it to be 0 , is both of them the same thing ??

QoS is the same setting yes, but you probably wont notice any difference unless Microsoft Update is running because thats just the max bandwidth that it can use, it's not constantly reserved.

Also, Microsoft does not interrogate your PC, they only collect information about your system, if you specifically give them permission by joining the "Customer Improvement Program"

In my opinion you commit an error. I suggest it to discuss. Write to me in PM, we will talk.

It's not because of Microsoft
your system is infected with a uploader worm.

I haven't heard this before, is this true?
Does it apply to newer versions of Windows, like Windows 7?
