Οι χρήστες του λογισμικού ασφαλείας Sophos ήρθαν αντιμέτωποι με μια black screen when booting up their Windows PCs over the weekend.
The error appeared after an update of Sophos security software.
After updating users with computers that ran with Windows 7 άρχισαν να παρατηρούν προβλήματα, καθώς το antivirus αναγνώριζε το αρχείο συστήματος winlogon.exe σαν πιθανώς κακόβουλο λογισμικό.
The problem was limited to users running 32-bit versions of Windows 7 SP1, according to Sophos.
According to the company, the following message was displayed:
Virus/spyware 'Troj/FarFli-CT' has been detected in “C:\Windows\System32\winlogon.exe”. Cleanup unavailable.
Sophos responded immediately and issued a revised update, along with tips for resolving the problem from Sunday morning.
