Alert: Trend Micro Update May Freeze Windows Computers
Tuesday, September 9, 2008
A recent update for Trend Micro's Internet Security software may cause Windows to freeze.
The update, released on Friday, September 5, 2008 and corrected by Trend Micro the same day, erroneously identifies several key system files as infected. Symptoms may include programs that fail to run or run with errors, a missing Taskbar, and unusually unstable behavior. If you did not experience the issue, the latest update of Trend Micro is free of this problem. Unfortunately if you did get the update, you likely may have to reinstall Windows and your data from backup.
