[Krebs on Security] Rootkit May Be Culprit in Recent Windows Crashes ”” Krebs on Security: I’d urge anyone who has already recovered from a BSoD or infinite reboot loop after installing this week’s patches to scan their systems with several different security tools, as the rootkit buried in atapi.sys is likely just there to hide the presence of a larger, more systemic malware infection. Restoring from a known-good backup would be ideal, however most home users sadly do not have backup images to rely upon.

[Security Center Blog] MS10-015 Blue Screen Reports: TEST, TEST, TEST.  Patch management programs make patching very easy.  But, you should never blindly push out updates unless it is necessary.  The issues with MS10-015 are a prime example of what can happen when you blindly push out patches without testing them first.  Microsoft and other vendors make every attempt to ensure their patches do not break functionality.  The last thing Microsoft wants with MS10-015 is to fix vulnerabilities but take a “black eye” from causing system crashes.  Take some time and establish a test environment that contains your commonly used systems and programs.  This may slow down your patch deployment, but it will save you a lot of time fixing issues that can come up with patch management.
