Anti Spying mega.co.nz link

There's a warning about win10 style spyware in win7. This is good, but it contains a link to some mega.co.nz link for a solution. This has problems:

• mega.co.nz might go the way of megaupload.com and become a dead link.
• It's not an official website, so it's to be instinctively untrusted.

Is there an official link for this software? Everything I can DuckDuckGo references back to a ghacks.net article (lol). If the developer can't even make a github page I'd be more suspicious of his program than I would of a Win7 iso on KickAss Torrents by a trusted uploader (which all claim to have skipped the spyware updates).

Updating Windows 7 with WSUS

I have been trying to find the best way to update a fresh install of Windows 7. Preferably a way that avoids Windows 10 bloat. I came across this program, which allows you to download and install selected updates for various versions of Windows. I have downloaded the updates but I have not installed them yet. Ill post my results once I try.

Is WSUS Offline Update a good way to update Win7? Because if it is we should probably include it in the guide (I can write an article on it).

Here's a link: http://www.wsusoffline.net/

Strangely enough when I tried to update my PC, my PC restored itself to a previous point where few things were installed. I have no idea why it did this. WSUS seemed to be doing its job, installing updates, but I question why it restored itself like it did. Luckily I made a restore point before running WSUS, so I have all of my files back.

Can anyone provide any insight on why this happened? --Theredpikmin (talk) 20:52, 21 June 2016 (EDT)

Since I don't use Windows, I can't say whether it is a good way or not. But, I guess we can have more options on updating Windows 7, good and bad (NOT malicious). (Although, please, do some test before confirming it work or not.)  Morpheus talk 11:49, 22 June 2016 (EDT)

Aegis Script

The Aegis Script is dead. The guy deleted his account and uploaded version 1.18 to Github, saying some stuff about voat censorship. Bottom line, the script is dead. We need to reflect that and/or start developing it ourselves. It is the one defense we have against Normies without OSPEC, as — with knowing the horrors of Windows 10— the illegal spyware functionality endangers all users around them and on the internet (i.e. over IRC), we need to demand normies run this script. It needs to be actively developed, and someone needs to take the reins.
