It seems there are some problems with December's windows update specifically patch KB3004394 on windows 7 which is causing a multitude of problems. ie, driver problems, windows defender problems and the inability to install further updates. A patch has been issued to solve the problem but there are sites and hardware manufactures that are still advising you to manually remove the patch. ....Just checked the issued patch does remove KB3004394.

I believe i posted this in the wrong area.

Susan Bradley, the "Patch Watch" columnist for Windows Secrets Newsletter, gave a warning about the problem with KB3004394 in the most recent issue. I almost always read her take on things before installing any Windows Updates. Doing this has saved me a good deal of grief.
