This change of policy is official - it is in very small print, but Microsoft is not trying to conceal their plans. It has recently been discovered that Windows XP users may have parts of their operating system replaced by Microsoft while they are on line, without any overt notification or permission.

If you are reinstalling Arachnophilia, in most cases you should delete the user configuration directory located at (user home directory)/.Arachnophilia.
