We all remember the time when Windows 10 updates messed up third-party antivirus programs. However, the bug is back again to target Windows 7 devices. Sophos recently released a security alert that warns users about the issues created by KB4499164 and KB4499175. Microsoft rolled out both of these updates on Patch Tuesday. Users who are running Sophos Central Endpoint Standard/Advanced and Sophos Endpoint Security and Control on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 machines are the ones most affected by this problem. The UK based security company Sophos explains that: The company confirmed that it is collaborating with Microsoft to fix the bug. Surprisingly, Microsoft didn’t acknowledge the bug on their KB page. It seems that two of these updates are causing issues for Avira, Sophos, Avast, and ArcaBit. Avast users are reporting that the latest round of updates are affecting Windows 7 machines with a free version of Avast antivirus programs. It is interesting to see how Microsoft is going to address these security issues. This may turn out to be a major setback for the tech giant who is already dealing with Windows 10 May 2019 Update bugs. RELATED ARTICLES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
