Much of the ill will surrounds the recent release of a cumulative patch for Internet Explorer, which also contains a fix for a newly discovered critical vulnerability. Some users contacted by eWeek last week said that when they installed the patch on machines running Windows 98 and IE 5.5, the PCs failed to reboot and instead returned a "scandisk" error message. When the users tried to bring the machine up in safe mode, it froze, preventing further action.
