The latest set of security updates from Microsoft released last week contain a flaw in one of the updates that can cause Explorer to crash and PCs to freeze. This particularly affects computers with HP and Kerio Firewall software installed.

See here and here.

    Microsoft released a support document outlining lockup and unresponsive software problems that an April 11 security fix causes, but the only workaround involves editing Windows' registry...If the registry becomes corrupted or is improperly edited, the affected PC may not boot into Windows.

    I would NOT recommend users to do the workaround unless they have a strong knowledge and understanding of working with the Window's registry.
