Re: Explorer 6 Update KB942615

1. Disable your anti-virus application, 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 any third-party firewall AND enable the Windows Firewall.

NB: If you're running ZA Free firewall, you may need to uninstall it instead of disabling it. 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 XP (KB942615)"] via Add/Remove Programs, if installed (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 Custom install any Critical Updates offered. **DO NOT INSTALL IE7!**

5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable your third-party firewall.

After instaling all the updates today, I found out that after cleaning my
cache, I found that trying to go on certain websites, even my MSN mail I
would get the standard message"Explore has encountered a problem.....". I
did a system restore thinking newly instaled software was the problem. Every
thing was fine until I reinstalled the updates.
Since only the update pertaining to explorer was KB942615, I uninstalled it,
and problem solved.
My question is...when will Microsoft have a new update to fix what KB942615
was suppoed to fix or a patch to fix KB942615................
