MY Internet Stopped working after installing windows updates

[Guest l33tcoder]

Today 9 July 2008 two windows updates were installed in my system

 

1. Security Update For Windows XP (KB951748)

 

2. 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

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.

Assuming ZA is installed:

 

See related conversations in this forum:

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:

I strongly disagree with this advice:

Perhaps a better firewall is what's needed?

PS: The vulnerability addressed by KB951748 *is* a big deal! See

The updates are not the problem. Your system is infested with non-conforming

and flawed software. It's name is ZoneAlarm.
