Security Update for windows xp (KB951978) after these updates i restarted my computer as usual and my internet stopped working on my browsers which were (IE 7 and Mozilla Firefox 3) what's wrong with these updates I am using windows xp (service pack 3) and all my internet was working good before installing these updates NOTE: - i am dead sure that these updates were the problem as when i uninstalled them my internet started working on Mozilla firefox and IE -- l33t
Guest Dooglius Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 RE: MY Internet Stopped working after installing windows updates I had the same problem--its just the first one that causes the problem, though... if you look in the details (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951748) it's modifying lots of system files used for networking. For now, just disable automatic updates until Microsoft fixes it. "l33tcoder" wrote: > > > Today 9 July 2008 two windows updates were installed in my system > > 1.

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Re: MY Internet Stopped working after installing windows updates Assuming ZA is installed: See related conversations in this forum: http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/board?board.id=cfg Keep an eye on this thread: http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/board/message?board.id=cfg&message.id=52785 Although the fix here should work: http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/board/message?board.id=cfg&message.id=52727 I strongly disagree with this advice: http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/pressReleases/2008/LossOfInternetAccessIssue.html Perhaps a better firewall is what's needed? http://www.matousec.com/projects/firewall-challenge/results.php PS: The vulnerability addressed by KB951748 *is* a big deal!

Your system is infested with non-conforming and flawed software. It's name is ZoneAlarm.
