    I take it that this is Windows Vista?

    DeltaSlaya figured out the issue:
    Yea I have a solution. Uncheck the KB935807 update and install all others. I have experienced, and a quick Google reveals the problem with this update is widespread. Hide it for now - Microsoft will get on to it at some stage... I believe it addresses the Windows Firewall so if you are not using that you will not be adversely affected.

      Yea, I think this information should be stickied somewhere with a link to the MSDN thread about it - so that people can be informed of any updates.

      Though if you are not using the Windows Defender Firewall thingy or whatever it's called then you will not need the fix anyway.
      System specs:
      Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (up to 3.3 stock V and air)
      ASUS Striker Extreme
      XFX 8600GT XXX Edition
      2x 1gB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800
      Seagate Barracuda 320gB SATA
      Raidmax Ninja 918 (520W ATXV2.0 PSU)
