Comments on: Windows patch backfires on the security-minded

People who tweaked their OS settings are getting hit hardest by a flawed Microsoft update meant to fix a serious flaw.

BSOD (blue screen of death) till patch applied

I had just installed last week's round of security patches in a newly minted industrial PC, and I started getting BSOD intermittently. After this latest "fixed" patch was installed, the BSOD stopped. Pretty serious stuff, as we resell PCs as part of our business.

Like an IE problem

In my case the problem showed like bloking all kind of scripts, even from some MMC like the SERVICES, and my Email Server. I couldn't access any kind of web page with javascript or activex. I couldn't upgrade windows (activex required), my antivirus, etc. I couldn't modify the security settings in IE.
I couldn't find information on how to solve the problem anywhere on the Internet. Only similar problems for IE 5.5 in Windows XP.
After uninstaling the patch.. all seems to work!
