Microsoft’s New Black Screen Of Death (Not Blue)!
November 30th, 2009
No comments
Recently, “Prevx” published a report stating that Microsoft released a Security Patch in November that should LockDown and tighten the security of the Registry, but that had a side effect of falsely locking down valid registry key permissions, to leave the user with a Black Screen after he/she logs into the system.
Update (2009/12/01): Microsoft Security Response Center has analyzed the issue and confirms that the Black Screen bug is not due to any of the November Security/Non-Security Updates. But, in fact it is related to a Malware/Trojan known as “Win32/Daonol“!
