[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 702944, member: 32547"] Updated Qihoo 360 and installed the patch successfully on Windows 7. Seems 360 has no issues with the update. I downloaded it manually from the MS catalog, so I am not 100% sure about this. Confident any issues will be worked out quickly though, and the system is stable with the patch for now. I looked for information from Qihoo but could find none before locating and installing the patch manually. Guess I'll have to deal with the repercussions if anything goes wrong. Ran the SA-00086 tool on an unpatched i-5 2400 PC, and, curiously, the tool reports that the system is not vulnerable. An older i-3 540 system was vulnerable. I have a post up at the HP site to find out if the test is reliable. Also, have another HP system with an i-5 2500 which the test findings stated may be vulnerable. Hope to know more soon. No idea why an unpatched system with this type of processor is not vulnerable. Ran several benchmarks with and without the patch. Inconclusive, although the first one with the patch was very bad on one system. Others were up and down, so... [/QUOTE]
