Windows Security Update

[Guest John Watt]

I have XP Professional with SP1 and was able with LeechFTP to upload and

publish my web pages to my hosting company no problem. Then inexplicably this

all changed on the 15th of February and I have since been unable to update my

Customer web pages with either LeechFTP, Filezilla or CoreFTP. After

investigation it appears I have received three security updates on the date

everything stopped working. (I was getting a socket error) When I removed the

SECURITY UPDATES (KB 944533 & 943055 & 946026) I still was unable to upload

my web pages. But low and behold if I drop my firewall everything is now

working. In terms of a security update this is a bit of a disaster and the

changes in my firewall appear irreparable. Is there any way I can operate

without disabling my firewall?

did you check to make sure your programs are ALLOWED through the firewall.

Yes Thanks for the suggestion but LeechFTP and the other FTP products are

named exceptions in the Firewall. However they still do not work!

John,

I know that you will protest, but.....

 

Update XP with SP2. The procedure will last seemingly forever. After you

have survived that initial sp2 update, then go to the Window Update site and

once again check for updates. Repeat looking for updates, choosing the

"Custom" button until finally MS says no more updates. Then "graduate" to

Microsoft Update (as opposed to Windows Update). Microsoft Update will

also update your MS products other than Windows itself.

 

Good luck and happy downloading.
