Microsoft said the latest issues updates to Windows XP were due to the TDSS rootkit before installing this patch problem ("The update that breaks Windows XP).

A vicious problem

The rootkit, software Low to corrupt the system, is hiding in the atapi.sys file and Kaspersky has released a utility to remove it. The best way to eradicate it is to connect the HDD to a secondary system and run the utility. Also be aware that file atapi.sys is necessary for the proper operation of Windows and its deletion request that it be replaced by a copy of this on the installation CD of Windows XP.

One way not always evident

Microsoft does not preclude other causes of the problem, but the rootkit seems to be the main explanation for the blue screens once the update is installed. For information, be aware that many antivirus are struggling to detect and an update of its software protection is needed.
