The problem affects Microsoft products including Windows 7, Vista and XP operating systems, said Mel Morris , the CEO and CTO for the U.K. security company Prevx.

Microsoft has also come out to say that their patches indeed did not cause this problem. So take your pick...because the story goes both ways. <- Thinks that is great as lovers and haters of Windows both have as a story to share.
