Hi Macc_eye, again,
My ZA version allows to put the security in the learning mode for 20 days,
which reduces the security warnings. After 20 days it wants to go into max
security, but if you get too many warnings for your appetite, you can put it
back into the learning mode.

Hi IT Lite again

Thanks. I also have just uninstalled KB951748 following your advice and
everything is back to normal. I do have the warning shield to warn me not
to
download this update again.
Shame I reinstalled Zone Alarm as I now have to reset all my programs for
access.

A few weeks back I got caught with the windows defender rogue update. What
has happened to Microsoft QC and their testing of updates.
How does the average user recover from this one if they lose internet
access? How do they download the fix when MS find one?
I wonder if MS appreciate the severity of the problem they have created.
Thank goodness this forum exists so a thankyou to MS for setting this up.

time for a malt whisky methinks to calm the nerves.

many thanks
Tony aka Macc_Eye
DON'T PANIC !!

Hi IT Lite

Same problem here. Are you running Zone Alarm. If so turn it off and you
can
access the internet with all updates installed.

in the meantime we await microsoft to fix the problem.

I got notified of 3 updates by MS; KB951748, KB951978, and the MRT
monthly.
I faithfully downloaded and installed all 3. After reboot, I could not
get
back onto the Web. Since KB951748, KB951978 are both IE security
updates, I
uninstalled them both, re-booted and was graciously let back on the
Web. Of
course MS wanted me to intall them, so sent another gold shield to let
me
know. Instead of re-installing both, I first re-installed KB951978,
re-booted, and still got back on the Web, but when I re-installed
KB951748,
again, neither my FireFox 3 or IE 7 could browse, so uninstalled
KB951748.

Do anyone think MS will fix that "fix" to actually allow use of IE? Or
what
settings must I fiddle with to make my sytems work with the KB951748?

The same thing happened identically on 2 XP Pro SP3 systems, and I
followed
the same install - uninstall procedure of the security updates. They
both
work withOUT the KB951748 uninstalled.

Thanks,
John
