Important update for SCEP/FEP users

InformationHi all, the following update was released towards the end of last year as a Critical (non-security) Update via Windows Update.  The update addresses an issue with the Windows Filtering Platform that would cause the Network Inspection System (NIS) feature of System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) and Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP) to drastically slow down network performance when actively protecting machines. The KB article can be found here:

KB2735855 - Network connection is slow when you run a WFP-based application on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2735855)

If you have SCEP or FEP deployed, or any firewall/AV software that leverages the Windows Filtering Platform, it is strongly recommended that you deploy this update if you use NIS.
