So....You mean the majority of Users, correct?
And I know what that 6th sense feels like; it borders on paranoia when something I can't explain starts happening although it later turns out to be quite simple.
I have called Microsoft before for such hotfixes on other systems; can't complain about the process but I did note they ssemingly wanted to make sure you knew exactly what the patch you were getting did. I suppose so you couldn't go back and whine at them saying that the patch blew your ability to login to your system correctly.
As for interfering with other software; a good example of this was when I went to install VMware and an IBM CSS message box popped up that would allow me to change the secure password for the CSS logon that was different from the Windows logon password. What the box did say, took a while reading through it though, was that if it was triggered by software that was getting installed and not because you were changing the Windows password to something different than the CSS logon password, then you should hit cancel in the box at that point. It then repeated it on big text on the bottom. Now that is what I call a good plan against software conflicts.
