MS Update KB2823324 - Issue with Kaspersky Antivirus

The above mentioned patch was released yesterday by Microsoft and has been seen to cause issues with systems running Kaspersky antivirus, in that it disables Kaspersky and causes a check disk to run upon each reboot of the system.

It may affect other Antivirus programmes as well.

If you do find that you are affected by this, uninstall the MS update and reboot your system.

    Kaspersky are aware of the issue and are currently advising users not to install the offending update until further notice.
  • Kaspersky Internet Security applications appear to be unaffected.

    My IS 2013 seems ok with this update.

    Link to Kaspersky's response which clarifies this
