Installation of SP1

[Joe]

I've installed SP1 on a Vista Desktop and now am unable to access
email applications on the net (i.e. gmail, yahoo mail, hotmail,
business webmail). I've checke dall the SSL settings and they seem
OK, DNS is fine - reloaded network driverrs just on the off chance
but, still no go...

Ideas anyone?

Hi Joe,

Check your firewall settings, particularly if you use a 3rd party firewall.
SP1 contains new versions of the Internet Explorer executable, iexplore.exe,
and some firewalls are configured to pick up on the change and not allow
communication unless they are explicitly given permission. The same thing can
occur with the regular cumulative security updates for bothe IE7 and Windows
Mail. This is actually a good thing, because it prevents rogue programs from
altering these executables without you knowing about it. If you are notified
by the firewall that these programs have changed, check for installed
updates. If there haven't been any updates that have installed between the
time that your system was last able to connect and now then it is possible
that you have got malware on your system, and you need to run your
anti-malware tools. You could also try System Restore.

Big negative there, firewall (disabled). phishing filter is off, popup
blocker is off, I've set the security settings to there lowest.
I ended up clearing the SSL cache and it's off and running.
