CPU bug patch saga: Antivirus tools caught with their hands in the Windows cookie jar

You can safely approve it in WSUS and it just won't be made available to the machines until they have the correct registry entry. As soon as it sees that (we just pushed the reg change via group policy as we know our AV is fine), the update will be available to install as per normal. Its the same for Windows Update - it just won't appear until the reg change. You can however download the patch manually and install it but at the risk of it causing a BSOD if your AV isn't compatible.
