If so, it's a conflict between ZoneAlarm and that MS update. I followed this advice on ZA's User Forum: http://forum.zonelabs.org:80/zonelabs/board/message?board.id=cfg&message.id=52727 and it still didn't solve the problem. The only thing that worked for me is to: 1. Uninstall KB951748; or 2. Retain KB951748, disable ZA's Firewall and enable Window's Firewall; or (if you want to retain ZA's 2-way firewall) 3. Retain KB951748, change the slider in ZA's Firewall | Main | Internet Zone Security to Med. (from High). I opted for 1. above, until ZA(/MS?) produce a workaround. Keep an eye on this thread in ZA's forum: http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/board/message?board.id=cfg&message.id=52860 Ian

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Re: Internet Explorer can not dispay webpages See if (1) disabling the Norton firewall and then (2) enabling the Windows Firewall fixes the problem.

What site? (Doubtful) Now, here's the rest of the fix: Error message after you install a Windows Internet Explorer 7 update from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "Webpage cannot be displayed": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942818 If tweaking your Norton Personal Firewall's settings don't help, try the following: 1. Disable your anti-virus application, all Norton Add-ons (if any), any real-time protection provided by an anti-spyware application (except for Windows Defender; includes Spybot Tea Timer, SpySweeper Guards, AVG AS guard.exe, etc.), disable Norton Personal Firewall AND THEN enable the Windows Firewall (if necessary). NB: You're "working without a net" now: Don't to ANYTHING else online (e.g., browsing; reading email; chatting) except #4 below until your anti-virus application has been re-enabled! 2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB950759)" via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked at top right) and reboot. 3. Re-do #1 above. 4. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical Updates offered. If a Root Certificates update is listed in the Optional Updates category, install it to take full advantage of IE7's enhanced security. 5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable (or reinstall) your third-party firewall. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Sharpie wrote: > I did exactly what you wrote and now I can view Internet explorer. > Thank you so much!! > I'm still having problems uploading pictures to a certain site. > Could this new update cause that problem as well? > > > "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABearMVP@gmail.com> wrote in message > news:ezJu$ji4IHA.1808@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >> See if (1) disabling the Norton firewall and then (2) enabling the >> Windows >> Firewall fixes the problem. >> >> Sharpie wrote: >>> I do not have ZA I have Norton and yes my computer did the updates, I >>> try >>> and link onto your help links but nothing works :( >>> >>> >>> "Sharpie" <sharpe@hfx.eastlink.ca> wrote in message >>> news:OU2UMih4IHA.3796@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >>>> Hi, >>>> >>>> I can't get Internet Explorer to load any pages, keeps telling me >>>> there's >>>> can't display WebPages? >>>> Can someone please help me? >>>> I did a defrag to my system today that is all, I was able to get online >>>> for about 20 minutes and then it would not load anymore. >>>> >>>> Appreciate any help out there. >>>> Thanks >>>> Val

The major Norton criticisms are related to stability and footprint, the most common problem being slow-downs because of the massive system resources Norton hogs. There are products on the market with equal or better test results than Symantec's products, consuming less resources at a lower price (even free ones). The retail version of Norton can play havoc with your pc. Uninstall it using Norton's own uninstall tool: Download and run the Norton Removal Tool and try to get a refund: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039 The Norton Removal Tool uninstalls all Norton 2008/2007/2006/2005/2004/2003 products and Norton 360 from your computer. Or: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Norton_Removal_Tool_for_Windows_2000XPVista/1169144666/1 While Norton's removal tool usually gets the job done, you may also want to go to: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html and download a copy of winsockxpfix just in case. Rarely, the removal of NIS breakes the networking components in XP to the point where internet access is impossible. This little utility will fix it back up. If the Norton removal tool doesn't work satisfactory use this: Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Remove unwanted programs and traces easily http://www.revouninstaller.com/ and/or RegSeeker http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm RegSeeker will remove all associated detritus (registry keys,files and folders) from any application. I found this application user friendly and very effective but suggest *not* to use the 'Clean the Registry' option. Click onto 'Find in registry' and in the 'Search for' box type *Norton*; The pertinent registry keys can then be safely deleted (just in case, ensure that the 'Backup before deletion' is checked). Repeat the task by typing in the Search for' box *Symantec*. You can then go on search and remove associated files as well. Then use NTREGOPT to compact the registry; Follow instructions. http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt
