    Users of windows 7 and windows server 2008 R2 are being warned not to install a security fix provided through windows update, and to uninstall it if it is already installed

    the update in question, KB2823324, is supposed to fix a security flaw in a windows kernel mode driver, however it has been found to cause serious problems including breaking third party antivirus programmes and preventing windows from booting successfully.

    2DamCerius My eyes for your brain...fair trade.

    Damn! I guess I was too late when this shiznit happened. Now that I get this I have downloaded the update a few weeks back and then I receive unwanted ads. I only get those pop ups if I use the internet. But I still get annoyed by them.
