- Ignores options blocking automatic updates
- Installs update assistant on your machine without permission
- Starts downloading updates without giving you the option to stop other than killing the process (which just restarts again in a few minutes)
- Re-installs update assistant if you try to delete/uninstall or break it
- Re-starts update service within minutes even if you keep disabling it
- Re-boots your machine without your permission
