If you can read this . . .

. . . then your Windows machine hasn't had a BSoD lately I'll guess. It appears one of the updates from Bill has caused mischief

If you have not updated recently you may wish to do a custom update after deselecting KB977165. If you have downloaded the updates but not installed them, again, you may wish to do a custom update after deselecting KB977165. If you have installed it and everything is fine but you are still wary and want it gone then simply go to the Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs (ensure Show updates is checked) - click the Remove button for KB977165.

Best practice is to download but not install for a couple of days. If there is a problem let the rest of the Interpipe sort it out, eh?

Krebs on Security has a (probable) fix here.
