I can connect to the internet using a hotspot and my home connection does work on other devices (my husband's computer, smart phone connection, etc.)  The only way I can get it to connect is to remove the update (I believe it had changes to Security Essentials

which I do run).  Once removed I can connect just fine.  I have an HP 64 bit laptop with Windows 7.  Since it's a critical update I want it on my computer but not if I can no longer connect to the internet.  I've restored all security setting to the defaults

and turned off the firewall for my home connection - still didn't work.  Any idea what settings I should check?
