When KB908531 is removed, these may not run

When I go to Add/Remove programs, (WinXP - SP-2), And click on KB908531 to
remove it, another window box opens stating that KB911562 and KB912812 as
well as CCleaner may not run properly if I remove KB908531. So does this
mean that to be safe I need to remove the KB911562 and KB912812 updates
first, then remove KB908531. Then re-install KB911562 and KB912812. CCleaner
would have to be removed, then installed later. It appears to me that by
removing KB908531, it affects the other two updates. Thanks.

I just removed the KB908531 and ignored the others. The issues were
happening on my wifes computer, and by uninstalling KB908531 the hanging
issues were resolved. To note, there are no Hewlett Packard products
attached to her computer but it was hanging and freezing at different
points. All this seems to have reverted back to normal as of this time.

The only solution is to kill off the HP process.

Locate any instances of hpgs2wnd.exe or hpgs2wnf.exe in Task Manager,
then right click on them and select End Process.

To get to the task manager, do three finger salute: ctrl+alt+del

Removing the update is not the permanent solution as Automatic Updates
will download and install it again.

Please note that MS06-015 fixes a critical security vulnerability, so
it's very important that you reinstall it as soon as possible if you've
uninstalled it. Please also keep in mind that disabling Auto Update
will leave your computer unprotected even after MS releases new security
updates.

I finally figured out (minimally) what this patch is supposed to
do /for/ me, but since I don't know if my HP printer or anything
else might cause problems, I've decided to just take the risk
and never install it. It would be /really/ helpful if the guys
and gals in Redmond would give users some measureable way to
assess the risk when every damn update starts off with "a
vulnerability exists which may allow your machine to be taken
over by E.T." Yeah, OK, but how many E.T.'s have reported
stealing humans?
