I have just downloaded the referenced update and after restarting (from the
start screen since it would not restart from the link provided) I get a
message saying my anti-virus software has deleted a RAP Generic intrusion. In
fact, the screen lights up with a Christmas tree with warnings about
intruders, drivers that won't load and files that can't be accessed. I
finally managed to roll back the download although I couldn't get to system
restore through the normal links. I went through all this before with XP and
I eventually had to scrap the whole system when Microsoft would no longer let
me reinstall the XP OS. That happened with the SP2 patch which would
automatically attempt to install itself at least once a day, blocked or not.
My advice to everyone is to live with what you've got. Unless you can afford
to buy a new OS every few months ignore any Microsoft updates, these things
are dangerous to your computer's health!
