Uninstalling Security Update 2006-007 is the only viable option in some
cases. To remove do an Archive and Install of the OS.
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/glossary/archive_install.html>
Before resorting to an Archive and Install, try downloading the combo
updater from Apple. Re-apply the Mac OS X 10.4.8 combo updater once again,
re-application of the current combination updater (Mac OS X 10.4.8 for
PowerPC or Intel) has proven useful in the case of Security Update 2006-007.
Doing so overwrites potentially problem-causing files.

Future proofing.....A third party application SuperDuper
<http://www.shirt-pocket.com/> has an option that helps in situations like
this. Here's a description of how this option works:
A Sandbox is a bootable copy of your system, stored on another hard drive or
partition, that shares your personal documents and data with the original.
With SuperDuper, you actually use the Sandbox as your startup volume. You
can safely install any system updates, drivers or programs in the Sandbox,
without worrying about what might happen to your system. If anything goes
wrong, you can simply start up from the original system. SuperDuper has
preserved it in its original, pre-disaster state but all your new and
changed personal documents are totally up to date. Within minutes, you're up
and running again without having to go through a difficult and
time-consuming restore process.

While most issues apparent after the update have reasonable workarounds, the
inability to launch specific applications -- particularly Microsoft Office v.X
and 2004 apps -- continues to be a sticking point for a surprisingly high
number of users. For more info see
