If you have been using a less than legit copy of Windows 7, you will probably want to check your Windows Update settings. Microsoft has announced a new update for its Windows Activation Technologies, a set of tools that can detect whether the copy of Windows has had its default activation technologies compromised. The update is for all versions of Windows but it will not be compulsory and no personally identifiable information will be transmitted.

The Windows Blog - In the coming days, we’ll be deploying a new update for Windows Activation Technologies, the set of built-in activation and validation components built into Windows 7. Called Windows Activation Technologies Update for Windows 7, this update will detect more than 70 known and potentially dangerous activation exploits. Activation exploits are sometimes called “hacks”, and attempt to bypass or compromise Windows’ activation technologies.
