Hi All:

I just received and e-mail from Microsoft and forwarded some of the
issues we have been having. They are investingating now.

I will post follow-ups AT the Windows Update Newsgroup as they become
available.

Microsoft at the moment suggests that the benefit of waiting (for a fix)
may not be worth the risk of waiting (worms). This problem isn't
happening on every machine - just certain (to be determined) machines.

The following (posted from another fine member earlier) may help resolve
most problems.

Best of Luck

After installing Security fix KB835732, the SYSTEM.exe process uses up
99% of CPU time, and make the system non-responsive.

To unistall it, I did the following
(1) Boot into Safe mode.
(2) Run TaskManager - and noticed that the SYSTEM process
was using 99% of the CPU time.
(3) From TaskManager set the Priority of the EXPLORER
process to REALTIME, so that I can get to the control
panel.
(4) Run ADD/REMOVE PROGRAM from control panel.
(5) Go back to TaskManager and set the Priority of
MSHTA.exe to REALTIME, so that the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAM can
get some CPU time.
(6) Select and Remove "Windows 2000 Hotfix - KB835732".
(7) Go back to TaskManager and set the Priority
of "SPUNIST.exe" to REALTIME, for the uninstall program to
run.
(8) Wait a few minutes, and the uninstall program will
eventually ask you to click FINISH to reboot the machine.
It took a long time for the system to shutdown and I just
unplugged the power.
(9) The machine should become normal after reboot.
 
Stopping AND Disabling the IPSec Policy Agent service stops thi
problem. That seems to be the best bet for a workaround until th
actual problem is solved (given we could start seeing attacks regardin
this patch any minute now)

This is not always the case, as doing this on my machine had no effect
Uninstalling the hotfix was the only solution
