Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330)

Installation date: ‎03/‎06/‎2008 21:55

Installation status: Successful

Update type: Important

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) is an update to Windows Vista that
addresses key feedback from our customers. Windows Vista SP1 addresses
specific reliability and performance issues, supports new types of hardware
and adds support for several emerging standards. After you install this item,
you will have to restart your computer.
 
I'd very much doubt that the Defender definitions update would cause such
behavior.

According to the KB article, "Installing [KB940510] does not affect the
functionality of your operating system."

That leaves us with the the install of Vista SP1 or Vista SP1 itself being a
possible causes of the behavior, but certainly not the only possible causes.

1. Let's start with the least-drastic possible causes: Internet Explorer
Add-ons.

In no certain order:

Internet Explorer stops responding, stops working, or restarts (Guided Help)

If no joy...

2. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were any of these applications running when you installed Vista
SP1?
