XP Service Pack 2

[John McLelland]

Since uploading to my computer this service pack I am
unable to access my paypal account, online bank, msn,
microsoft online support, or make a purchase online. Can
anyone help me???

I have checked internet explorer and everything that
should be selected is so I am sure the problem is xp
related.

Hi John,

I can't be of help, but felt the need to respond to your post. I just
recently installed this SP 2 and also use Paypal, online banking, etc. I do
not have issues accessing my accounts, but have hellish time with pop-up ads.
Is this an issue for you as well? I have 3 main websites I typically work
on and never had pop-ups on them until after installing this service pack.
Most peculiar thing is, i have the POP UP BLocker "ON" and "blocking all
pop-ups". Yes, makes alot of sense to me too.

I have a feeling this big SECURITY service pack we downloaded is more for
marketing between microsoft and other companies getting our personal
information etc. Course that could be the "they are out to get us" paranoia
speaking.

If I run across any answers during my searches, I'll let you know. But
again, I'm not having issues accessing my Paypal and banking accounts,
etc...so I'm not quite sure what your ailment is with your pc.

Good luck to you though,
