MSN can not sign in due to firewall

Hi there, all the sudden, I can not sign in my MSN any more, the error
message I got was due to the firewall setting. I haven't changed
anything with my computer, the windows firewall is on all the time and
MSN used to be ok. I have McAfee on my computer, but it's the basic
version with only antivirus functionality, no firewall function of
McAfee was enabled. The only thing I can think of is that the computer
checks and installs windows update automatically, and that happened the
other night when I shut down my computer. so what's going on here?
Actually, I disabled my windows firewall and re-started my computer and
still had no luck with MSN, surfing the web is still ok. If I want to
uninstall the last windows update, how can I do it?

Many thanks for suggestions
