Are you kidding me? "The patch could lock users out of their PC, prevent the Windows Firewall from starting, block certain applications from running or installing, and empty the network connections folder, among other things." Unbelievable. " The trouble appears to occur only when default permission settings on a Windows directory have been changed." I ask you, who releases a "critical" security patch that works only for default settings? "Even if users experience PC trouble after installing the patch, they will still be protected against any attack exploiting the Windows flaw." Yeah. Well, I could get the same result with a sledge hammer.
