           Summary: It appears WebKit is a timebomb virus
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.2)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows Vista
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: P1
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: csc-uk-conspiracy-files at orange.fr


Yes I know its free, viruses usually are.
On Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit fully updated with all MS updates.
Applications that rely on this have catastrophic failures.
Primarily latest version Safari plus probably latest version of Open Office.
Safari used to report that WebKit had failed, I just restarted Safari. But now Safari is never able to draw itself and launching Safari causes Windows Explorer to hang. If I check task manager Safari has loaded, it just is not drawing and I think that the problem is WebKit, and that it takes Windows Explorer down with  it. If I say Start -> Power options -> Restart the power cycle down and back up does not occur, instead I just get the message Windows Explorer is not responding and I have to say stop the program. Windows Explorer is just a graphical shell interface to underlying operating system. How WebKit can take this down I do not know.
OpenOffice will start and draw itself but when I tell it to open .odt files it was happy with yesterday, today it just hangs on opening said files. I can create a new document I cannot open existing ones. I suspect this is WebKit being used to draw an older document but not to draw one I create 'now'. 
Anyway those are my main WebKit based apps.
I cannot find WebKit anywhere on my machine.
I downloaded latest build zip file but there are no instructions that I can see on how you INSTALL the thing, all standard Windows apps come with install and deinstall programs. Not WebKit it seems.
I don't want to be a developer I just want my apps and my machine back so I get on with what I was doing.
