It was CA's eTrust Integrated Threat Management r8.1.  Rather than
upgrade to something newer from CA, we switched to Sunbelt Software's
VIPRE Enterprise.

I missed your original message while I was on vacation.  We were having
the same problem with our terminal server.  We had BSODs every morning
at about the same time (probably due to an antivirus scan) and at random
times, generally in the afternoon.  And there were varying stop codes.

We contacted Microsoft Security Support once we narrowed the problem
down to MS09-058.  That was a very unpleasant experience and took far
too long (about a month).  They blamed our anti-virus software, which
just didn't seem to make any sense.  We replaced it with the trial
version of another anti-virus package and the crashes went away.  As far
as Microsoft was concerned, that meant there was nothing wrong with
MS09-058 and they could close the case.

I appreciate you posting the link to this hotfix.

  Hello there,

  Has anyone else having issues with BSODs after deploying MS09-058 ?
  We started seeing issues with (busy) 32 bit and 64bit servers around a
week after reboot and when we do a full virus scan in the early hours.

  After analysing the dump files I pinpointed the file Ntkrnlmp.exe as
being the most likely cause.
  Lo and behold MS have released a fix
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978243/
  Ive just started testing the fix to see if it a) addresses the issue
and b) creates any new issues.
  I hope this helps someone else in the same boat.

  M

  PS .. what patch management systems are people using ?
