Default microsoft recommended remedy for symantec crash - Obsolete?

Symantec endpoint crashed today on startup, then microsoft led me to a
patch. the patch though (KB894391) is years old and for xp? I am not
too worried about the problem (yet), but I wonder how many might try

If you have SP3 it shouldn't let you install it.

Why would you ask Microsoft to fix a problem for Symantec's product and/or

After all - you said, "Symantec endpoint crashed today on startup" and not
"Windows XP crashed on startup."
