    I believe this was traced to the MS10-15 update, and the problem turned out to be the system file atapi.sys getting infected with a rootkit. If the machine has a clean atapi.sys, there's no risk with the update.

    There's lots of good information here. http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=8209

    The recovery method is a little bit clunky, but well documented now.
