This update fixes an issue that may cause a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer to crash. This issue occurs when a program that uses Windows Filtering Platform (such as an antivirus program) is running on the computer.
Any reply from Avast team on this ?..I see it is part of the new Jan MS updates release.
What do they mean by crash? I never bsod or freeze up? My programs never crash except maybe the browser once in a while. I’m thinking i probably shouldn’t install this? Or should i just to be safe?
Any comments?

You should always install updates.
Well I only install recommended updates if they apply to me. I guess I do use a virus scan so maybe a good idea to install this one. 
It didn’t solve my BSOD problem. Installed the updates yesterday, including reboot (twice) and hibernated last night. This morning I gont the BSOD in the middle of typing my Windows login password. Usually it get a bit further than that, and BSODs while I am trying to do things while it is still recovering from standby/hibernation.
I’ve disabled automatic standby & hibernation so that it will only hibernate if I choose, which means I can make sure nothing important is running. I ws trying hibernation in the hope that the bug might have been fixed. It’s been doing it on and off since I bought the Dell Inspiron two years ago, but is now getting much more frequent.
