No, NAV and the Zone Alarm firewall (on one PC only) were fine. They had
been working for more than a year together with the OS and no problems.
Not sure if you understood (maybe I didn't say), but your tip to re-register
the .dll's did the trick instantly. I would really like to find out what
happened. Spyware/Malware are not possibilities, especially on my own PC's -
I keep things clean - I do this type of work for a living. With that said,
Adaware wasn't common on all three PC's, nor was Zone Alarm, although NAV was.
But to repeat, at the time of my post, I was back up and running.
Also note: My IE browser showed NO signs of trouble, it would go anywhere
it was pointed, except for accessing WU site. It was Windows Update, MSN
Explorer, and MSN Messenger only that couldn't connect, and one three
seperate machines - two in one residence and one, mine, on my SOHO network.
Keylene, I have quoted you several times with your re-registering
instructions in reply to several other people's posts along the same lines.
Thank you for the replies and if you decide what happened, be sure to let me
know!
Thanks again,
