Excellent! Thanks for your follow-up.

It is, I believe (ie I don't know) a security app for code loaded through USB.
I don't think that this a serious Microisoft effort to kill XP, as it is too puny.
Some guy at Microsoft apparently thinks that XP users are all going to switch to W8, but I think that if XP ever dies, people will want something similar from another vendor.
So I would think that some brash young Microsoft CEO who kills off XP, might find Microsoft reduced to an X-Box company, and keep on shrinking.
Why would any sane person, toss away such an asset, rather than keep improving it at a modest rate.
A brash young upstart with no sense, that's who!

I'm testing XP (slipstreaming hotfixes) through VirtualBox and 2862330 is still a problem.
I don't have any "AV" software, only slipstreaming hotfixes and/or updates for Windows XP.
I believe that Microsoft is trying to "KILL" Windows XP definitely, because of his usage worldwide.
Why to use any newer OS?
XP is small, fast and doing great job and memory usage is 100MB.
Why to switch to Windows 8 which has more apps than we all together ever need?
It's not security software that's the problem. It's definitely a USB driver problem. As proof you can disable your security program prior to installing KB2862330 and you will see it will still fail to install or you'll get a blue screen. In my case, it was a VMware USB driver conflicting with KB2862330 when both were loading at startup. The security software theory is the first thing I tested when I encountered this problem.
