But wait! There’s more!

KB 3008923 crashes IE, KB 3002339 still hanging on install, KB 2986475 still pulled.

Details at InfoWorld Tech Watch.

I just had an independently reported crash, from PB:

I wanted to mention that I work for a small company and starting yesterday everyone in the office started getting IE failure messages “Internet Explorer has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly……. Close Program” I have found that be removing the new update KB3008923 has resolved the problem on all computers.

Thanks, PB
