Forbes Blasts Latests Windows 7 Patch as Malware

Forbes contributor Jason Evangelho has nothing good to say about a recent Windows 7 patch that's causing a range of trouble for some users. He writes: If you have Windows 7 set to automatically update every Tuesday, it may be to permanently disable that feature. Microsoft has just confirmed that a recent update — specifically KB 3004394 — is causing a range of serious problems and recommends removing it. The first issue that caught my attention, via AMD’s Robert Hallock, is that KB 3004394 blocks the installation or update of graphics drivers such as AMD’s new Catalyst Omega. Nvidia users are also reporting difficulty installing GeForce drivers, though I can’t confirm this personally as my machines are all Windows 8.1. Hallock recommended manually uninstalling the update, advice now echoed officially by Microsoft. More troubles are detailed in the article; on the upside, Microsoft has released a fix.

I suspect you were modded "Troll" because you were trolling, you stupid pathetic little shit.

I suspect you are posting as an "Anonymous Coward" because you have no balls.

I accept my mods, you on the otherhand, are clearly a "karma whore" who shoses to post as Anon because you don't want to get your precious Slashdot Karma modded down.

On the therhand, I speak my mind, and am usueally in the "excellent" range, though sometimes the sheep here push me down to "good?

You are fake, I am real.

Live with it.
