A large botnet in the Netherlands, with over 100k infected, was taken down 3 days ago by a cooperative effort of several CERT's. The National High Tech Crime Centre, (NHTCC), GOVCERT.NL, and the Computer Emergency Response Team of the Dutch government worked together to take down this w32.toxbot - driven network.

One of our readers submitted a question, which I'd like to pass on to all; Back in September Microsoft posted an issue with it's update, which we covered in our diary

For which Microsoft then submitted

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555461/EN-US/

So, today being a somewhat slow day, we were wondering if there are any readers who had problems with WindowsUpdate, and subsequently applied the listed patch? What were the results?
