We did not see the auto-install at my work. We are running an older version on Windows 2000 and WSUS 2.0. Windows Desktop Search is sitting there in updates - not approved.
Glad too...wouldn't touch WDS with a 10 foot pole.
Financial Service Companies do have Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which has privacy and safeguard rules on private data. Much of the problem stems from the lack of understanding that the bank (and other financial service company) regulators have with respect to data security. To most of them, whether a financial institution has a privacy and security policy allows them to check off a check box on their aduit forms. Few actually spend much time reading the various policies and reports because most are accountants and financial statement auditors that have attended a 1 week school that gives them a very basic overview of data security.
