The infected PC's boot fine and permit you to login. But when u do, it runs CPU usage up to 100% on one of the svchost.exe which renders the machine pratically useless. Ending this process (if you can manage to get to the task manager, list by CPU usage and select it before cpu usages pegs 100) will enable you to use the pc until Microsoft gets a fix albeit some things may not work as they should.
Just another reason why you SHOULD NOT have your computer do automatic updates. You can have it turned on, and even download them if you want but do NOT have them auto-install until you know they are usable. Just my 2 cents.
Hope this helps....

Jeeze, atleast give a solid fix.
Turn off automatic updates in the control panel, then:
Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> right click automatic updates -> properties -> set the service to disabled.
find patches in add/remove programs, remove them, rejoice. |

It is somewhat related as that is another symptom I've been seeing on XP machines. Most XP machines afflicted with this have been acting this way instead of the constant reboot which is more prevalent on the W2K boxes...
Same issue, different symptoms...
Anyone hear of an official M$ fix yet? |
