MS06-15 (KB 908531) combined with HP Share to Web will hang Explorer.exe - workaround

Ah yes, more quality driver code from HP strikes again. It looks like it is possible that the Share-to-Web namespace daemon doesn't process callback calls and/or signals correctly because anytime that the new VERCLSID.EXE tries to validate the .EXE, hpgs2wnd.exe will cause VERCLSID.EXE to hang.

There are workarounds listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918165

The ideal, and best, fix is for an update from HP but unless a lot of people complain, I have a feeling it will fall on deaf ears unless things have changed at HP.
