Re: Vista Security Update for IE7 kills internet access

I have Avast and disabling it didn't help as much as a reboot.
I have a suspicion it's network adapter driver related.

Typically when this is seen you have some third party antivirus and firewall software that doesn't play nice nice with updates.

Norton
Comodo
Zone Alarm
Etc.

Try to disable and reenable your a/v and firewall.

It's not the patches, it's the third party interaction with the patches.

Installed here, no issues.

Not just a problem with Dell. It has affected (not killed) my internet on my home built computer.

Dell forward a bunch of updates from Microsoft yesterday. One was Security Update KB950759. After this was installed I couldn't access the internet. After I uninstalled it everything worked. Again today it was sent by Dell and installed-same thing, couldn't access internet until I uninstalled it.

Any suggestions? I don't want to have to do this everyday.

Thanks,

There may be information in the MS KB article about your problem. I have this update installed and have no problems.
