There's been a whole lot of bad advice flowing around this problem.

In addition, the Silver Bullet patch removed all mention of KB 3004394 and KB 3024777 from the list of installed updates. Late Thursday night, Microsoft released its "Silver Bullet" patch, KB 3024777, which nullified KB 3004394 (I'm tempted to say "uninstalled" but it isn't clear whether the bad patch is literally uninstalled). Then we started hearing rumors that manually uninstalling KB 3004394 would, in fact, cause more problems.

On Thursday afternoon, Microsoft started advising in the Answers Forum that people infected with KB 3004394 should manually remove the patch, although the KB 3004394 article admonished, "The ability to remove Windows Updates through Control Panel may no longer function on some Windows 7 SP1-based and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1-based computers after KB 3004394 is installed." On Thursday morning, Microsoft pulled the patch.

Windows users started screaming about KB 3004394 within hours of it being rolled out of the Automatic Update chute last Tuesday: Bogus UAC prompts, MMC plug-ins refused to start, Windows Defender wouldn't start, Microsoft Security Essentials wouldn't install, VirtualBox wouldn't work, the AMD Catalyst Omega driver wouldn't install, and other Windows Updates wouldn't install after KB 3004394 infected those machines. And if you guessed that the bad patch may not even show up on customers' systems, you get the giant whoopee cushion. If you guessed that the aberrant patch is KB 3004394, you get the big prize. If you guessed that all of those problems were caused by a bad Black Tuesday patch, you win the small prize.

Looking around the Internet and answering my email, I see at least a hundred posts from people who are being told their copy of Windows 7 is disingenuous when, in fact, they know it's genuine. I could go on - there are dozens more, in the Activation section alone, all in the same vein - but you get the gist of it.
