Would you please tell me how to prevent the installation of KB3035583 in my computer and if it is already installed, how to remove it? Also, are there other updates that we need to be concerned about that enable this behaviour?
KB3035583 now appears as an Important update in Windows Update and is checked which means it will be automatically installed if the user does not uncheck it. If automatic update is set, it will install without intervention.
There are credible articles that say that Microsoft either has installed or will install changes to my computer that will enable Microsoft to use it as an advertising platform and then install Windows 10 without first obtaining an informed decision to do so. I truly hope this is not true.
On behalf of my clients and their 162 Windows "consumer" computers, I must tell you that we do not grant Microsoft or any other vendor the right to do this. When other Windows players do this, we regard it as malware and take great care to remove it.
Microsoft got to where it is today by selling Windows. We have spent decades learning how to use Windows and billions of dollars buying Windows computers and Windows software. We own these systems. They are ours, not Microsoft's.
Windows Update has earned a huge trust. We trust Microsoft to use Windows Update to keep our computers safe and secure. When Patch Tuesday comes along we install all the updates that Microsoft says are "important." We assume those to be either plugging a security leak or fixing a software error.
We all hope Windows 10 will be something we will want. We will carefully review and consult trusted advisors before we install Windows 10. We have seen Windows 8 and rejected it. Windows 8 is a bad product we did not choose.
Automatically installing Windows 10 on our computers would be a severe abuse of a well-earned trust. Changing our computers to enable them to become advertising platforms is also an abuse.

@wdburt
You and Cornell come on here to boast that any idiot should be able to live with Automatic Updates if only he will pay attention to what he is doing.
I challenge you to find an example of me recommending that a user should you use automatic update.
You will find my advice on this topic at paragraph 6.3 here:

I have consistently offered this advice both before and since the release of Windows 10. An illustration dated 9 February 2012:******http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-update-i-keep-getting-an-error-code/5a51befa-d5d1-4247-bad7-2419160cc28b?page=2
Appearently not.. Try reviewing best practices for a secure computer---
I might not be the "sharpest tool in the shed" ,as one of you pro Windows 10 people pointed out , but I think I am sharp enough, old enough and wise enough , to realise a scam when I see one
This thread is designed to mislead users into not installing security updates......... A perfect storm for scammers.....
