$• The Windows Update Web site may incorrectly recommend that you change
the Userdata persistence setting in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
$• The Microsoft COM+ EventSystem service will not start.
$• COM+ applications will not start.
• The computers node in the Microsoft Component Services Microsoft
Management Console (MMC) tree will not expand.
• Authenticated users cannot log on, and a blank screen appears after
the users apply the October Security Updates.

The following event is logged in the cluster log file:
** Actually, the 2 COM+ entries aren't exactly appearing on my PC but I
do get Event ID 4356 - The COM+ Event System failed . . .
Also listed in the article is Event ID 10010 which is what I was
troubleshooting when I found the article.
