The Blue Screen of Death on Startup

A recent Microsoft update has been causing, on occasion, a blue screen of death when an XP or Vista computer is powered on. This is caused by a malware program already present on the compromised computer that is interacting with the update. For details on the status of the problem, see: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=1764&tag=nl.e589. Give me a call or email if you get a blue screen when you power on.

Update: Thursday, Feb 18. The following link provides more technical detail for those who are interested. http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=7377&tag=nl.e589

At the bottom is a link to MS Support, which will give you help with this issue: https://consumersecuritysupport.microsoft.com Or call me.
