  • Problem with Vista SP2 and Kaspersky Internet Security

    Reader P wrote with a warning about installing Vista Service Pack 2:

    I just got bit by Microsoft Vista SP2 update. I took a backup before I installed Vista SP2 just to be safe and guess what after 15 minutes of using the new SP2 software I got a blue screen with the error code of 7B. Tried Vista repair using my Vista SP1 CD and was informed that no fix existed.

    Then later…

    Hi Woody, turns out that Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 was the cause of the problem. After deleting KIS 2009 I managed to install Vista SP2 successfully.

    There’s a detailed discussion on the Kaspersky Lab site.

    At the risk of repeating myself, I do NOT recommend that you install Vista Service Pack 2 just yet. There are bound to be lots of niggling problems.

    We remain at MS-DEFCON 2: Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don’t do it.
