Seems pretty serious for some users, I uninstalled just as a precaution.

"Microsoft today urged Windows 7 users to uninstall a patch shipped earlier this week that has crashed customer's PCs and crippled the machines with endless reboots. The patch, which was originally issued Tuesday, has been pulled from Microsoft's Windows Update service."

My computer totally froze up Tuesday evening and I had to hold down the power switch to turn it off. I've been searching for the cause, and this may be it. Thanks for the heads up!

I would treat any such information as 'SPAM' unless there is a official release from Microsoft or the global news goes into mass hysteria.

There are many causes of Windows going corrupt / freezing.

Don't deny the fact that something went wrong, but I will check my sources before panicking.
