Hey Bear,
Just looked through my program files and I have also had Mc Afee free scan
on my computer.
Is this also a problem.... ?

problem.
Are you running AVG Free 7.5 or AVG 8.0 now?
Was a Norton or McAfee application ever installed on the machine (e.g., a
free-trial version that came preinstalled on the machine)?

Ok PA Bear
I have disabled the only thing I could and that was Windows Firewall. (I
do
not have anyother firewall ~ am running AVG * Free) Have uninstalled
KB953838 - rebooted - reinstalled KB953838 and Root Certificate. Have
rebooted and enabled Windows Firewall.
Now I suppose it is a matter of waiting to see if the problem arises
again.
As it is an intermittent problem with web pages not being displayed....
Is there anything else I need to do ?
Thanks again for your simple instructions to follow. I hope I have done
it
right.
Regards
Tillpott

If tweaking your third-party firewall's settings don't help, try the
following:
1. Disable your anti-virus application, all Norton Add-ons (if any), 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 THEN enable the
Windows Firewall.
NB: 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! If you're running ZA Free
firewall, you may need to uninstall it instead of disabling it.
2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB953838)"
via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked at top
right) and reboot.
**Vista: Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7
(KB953838)" via Control Panel | Security | Windows Update | View
installed
updates and reboot.
3. Re-do #1 above.
4. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical
Updates offered (i.e., KB953838). If a Root Certificates update is
listed in the Optional Updates category, install it to take full
advantage
of IE7's enhanced security.
**Vista: Run Windows Update manually and install any Important updates
offered (i.e., KB953838). If a Root Certificates update is listed in
the
Optional Updates category, install it to take full advantage of IE7's
enhanced security.
5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if
applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable (or reinstall) your
third-party firewall.

Hi
I use IE7 and am happy with it ~ up until now have had no problems,
however,
since a few days ago I have been having problems getting web pages to
open
~
I keep getting IE cannot display this page . . .
I checked my MS update history tonight and found SP3 had downloaded
automatically ` would this be the cause of the problem ?
How do I get back to normal ? Do I uninstall SP3 ?
What effect will it have on my computer ~ ? Do I need SP3 ?
I do not want to change back to IE6 ( as I like IE7 ) if I really don't
have
to.
Thank you in advance for your help.
