Windows 10 Upgrader, be cautious

Alright so something just happened to me and I need to vent about it, Windows just hijacked my computer for a second.

I was looking at sheets when the whole screen went red and said "Sorry to interrupt" than it just froze like that, so I ctrl+alt+delete to bring up Task Manager and I see new text "But windows 10 free offer is ending July 29th". I click Task Manager and the window comes up and it's all gone.

Than about a minute later Windows Upgrader asks me to allow it to make changes to my computer! I didn't say yes to anything I didn't choose any options and it still tried to force the upgrader. So I clicked no, than I went to the Upgrader Icon in my bar and selected "Decline Free Offer" and all that did was close the window. It didn't remove the icon.

So I'm a little worried it may try to force the issue again. Anyone else with Windows 7/8/8.1 who doesn't want to upgrade watch out in case this happens to you.

I had to more or less unplug my computer once because that stupid 'upgrade' starting installing itself and I couldn't get it to stop even with the Task Manager. Since then I keep Task Manger open at all times to kill the GWX message as soon as it appears.

I can't wait for it to stop doing this.

Microsoft has already been sued for this, and they lost, too, so I'm actually surprised they're still trying this shit.
