Basically.... MS has inserted a bit of malware into registered copies of windows 7 as part of several system updates. This has lain doggo for a while an no-one noticed, but now its trying to force all and sundry to date to Windows 10 whether you like it or not.
This malware forcibly downloads Windows 10 regardless of what network you are using - if you are using a 3G/4G mobile connection, make sure you watch out or it will burn your entire data cap fast.
Initially it appeared MS was hitting home users, then SME's, but in the past 10 days or so it now appears to be biting corporates as well with assorted popup dialogs insisting you update the OS.
The worst part is that removing this crapware is proving to be quite difficult.
