Botch brigade: KB 2553154, 2726958 clobber Excel ActiveX; KB 3011970 Silverlight and KB 3004394 Root Cert both pulled
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
