nsane.forums Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Infected machines could experience "blue screen" crashes Microsoft is warning users to scan their machines for malware following a recent string of system crashes. The company said that one of the patches included in Tuesday's monthly update was potentially causing a conflict with certain malware infections on Windows XP systems. When installing the MS 10-015 patch, which addresses a vulnerability in the Windows kernel, the infected systems experienced the infamous "blue screen of death" system crash. In order to avoid the crash, Microsoft is advising users to scan their systems with a trusted, up-to-date antivirus tool. The news first surfaced Thursday when the company disclosed reports on its security response blog of system crashes with the February update. The issue was later traced to the MS 10-015 bulletin and eventually found to be from a malware infection. "One of the key components when investigating issues like this are obtaining memory dumps from computers experiencing the problem," wrote senior security communications manager Jerry Bryant. "In order to get the information we need to fully analyze the issue, some of our support engineers have actually driven to customer locations and picked up affected systems so we can get the needed crash data directly and help inform our investigation."

HX1 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 The only thing that is pissing me off right now is that I cannot change themes.. I have to have Aero in some cases.. and even the ones who claim they DON'T require Aero.. crash my system and to install the theme you have change system files out.. INCLUDING EXPLORER.EXE... It would be nice to have an easier way ..EDIT: I think it has something to do with the Bit Encryption Lock.. I could not use TPM.. but there was another option I enabled.. can't remember where or what and haven't looked for it on the other one yet... but I think that's why..EDIT: NOT THEMES.. even terminology is different this time around..LOL.. STYLES.. TY.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
