As we told you not long ago, one of the updates released last week as part of Microsoft’s monthly Patch Tuesday wreaked havoc on Windows 7 computers, pushing all machines in a continuous reboot loop that couldn’t be fixed without a manual removal of the bulletin.

Microsoft has since removed the update from the Download Center as it’s currently working on a patch to address the issue, telling everyone to uninstall KB2823324 as soon as possible.

More users, on the other hand, confirm the problem and, while Microsoft said that the issue is mostly caused by a compatibility problem with third-party software, it appears that Brazilian users who installed an online banking plugin are among those affected.

In addition, Kaspersky and Trend Micro security products don’t seem to get along very well with the new update, so these applications are automatically disabled on Windows 7 computers after deploying the buggy patch.

Microsoft will most likely release a fix in the coming days so, until then, make sure you remove KB2823324 and block it from getting re-installed on your machine.
