Update Windows 7 will check the legality of the installed copy
Within a week or two, a new "important" update will appear in Windows Update. It will be called (free translation) "Windows Activation Technologies Update for Windows 7" ("Windows Activation Technologies Update for Windows 7"), and if you have an illegal copy of Windows 7, beware.
This optional update will sniff out 70 “known and potentially dangerous activation exploits”, which are considered signs of an illegal copy.
However, if you are caught hot, do not panic. Microsoft promises that no personal information will go to them. Instead of this:
Of course, even if your copy of Windows 7 is absolutely genuine, there is a good reason not to download this update. Windows check is known for its tendency to take legal copies for piracy; Although this is a rare occurrence, few people want to risk this hemorrhoids.

From the translator: I think, the programs that require Genuine Windows, such as the free Microsoft Security Essentials free anti-virus / antimalware, will cease to be installed (and, possibly, already installed)
The source links are also mentioned, the stock verification will be carried out further, approximately every 90 days. The base of exploits will naturally be replenished. Update, as promised and underlined many times, you can not download, and you can delete even installed.

However, if you are caught hot, do not panic. Microsoft promises that no personal information will go to them. Instead of this:
If any exploit is found, Windows activation will notify the user and suggest ways to solve this problem - in most cases this will require just a few clicks. Machines that have genuine (“Genuine”) Windows 7 installed will not bother and frighten: an update on them will take place in the background without any messages. If Windows 7 is not genuine, the user will see a notification window with two main options: “learn more” and “purchase a genuine copy.” Desktop wallpaper will be replaced by a fill color (all custom icons, gadgets, pinned applications remain in place). Periodic reminders and a permanent watermark on the desktop - that’s what the user should be pushing.
It is important to know that users will not notice a decrease in the functionality of their copy of Windows - user applications will work as expected, and access to personal information will not be touched.
Of course, even if your copy of Windows 7 is absolutely genuine, there is a good reason not to download this update. Windows check is known for its tendency to take legal copies for piracy; Although this is a rare occurrence, few people want to risk this hemorrhoids.
