Unless you just recently installed IE7 (i.e., shortly before installing
the
Apr-8 updates), my money would be on KB914440 (Vulnerability in DNS Client
Could Allow Spoofing) first, followed closely by KB947864. But before
uninstalling anything as a test, please answer these questions:
1. Did you, in fact, just recently install IE7 and hadn't tried connecting
via FTP since you'd installed it until after you'd installed the Apr-08

Many thanks for your replies. I had been having problems with IE7 for a
couple of weeks - frequent "IE needs to close " messages and so I
re-installed it the day before the April updates. I checked and could
connect over FTP after the re-install but before the updates. After the
April updates had installed I noticed that KB914440 had somehow been
deleted
from the PC so I re-installed it (this initiated another batch of
automatic
updates including, I think, KB933729).
I have now removed only KB914440 and your bet was right - I can now
connect
over FTP from both IE and Windows Explorer.
This means , of course, that I no longer have the XP Network Diagnostic
Tool. Are the April updates intentionally designed to remove this or is
there another way of restoring this to the PC?
Again, thanks for your time and advice.

PA Bear said:Simon, I asked you to try two other troubleshooting steps (#2 & #3 in my
previous reply) before doing anything else (e.g., uninstall KB914440).
As luck would have it, I'd meant to say "my money would be on 945553...",
not "my money would be on 914440..." in my previous reply. There is no way
that having 914440 installed should affect FTP, despite what you're seeing.
In fact, with IE7 installed you should only be able to use Windows Explorer
to access FTP; cf.

...I had been having problems with IE7 for a

The above leads me to two possibilties: Either IE7 still isn't installed
properly, or you still have a hijackware problem. But before venturing into
those realms, please do the following:
1. Reinstall 914440:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=EA541E8E-85A3-4D2F-A3A4-B329D03FC2FA
2. Double-check to make sure the machine's fully patched by visiting Windows
Update website (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com).
3. See if FTP works using Windows Explorer (cf.
http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks/archive/2006/07/02/103612.aspx).
4. If no joy, try the diagnostics in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936211.
In your next reply, let me know how you made out in #3 and/or #4 above.
Also tell me: What anti-virus application or security suite is installed?
What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party
firewall (if any)?

Thankyou PA Bear. I have followed your steps and I now can connect over
FTP
via Windows Explorer.
I am really struck by your comment that it is not possible to connect to
FTP
in IE7. If I understand things properly this means that the XP Network
Diagnostic Tool will always show an FTP connection problem.
I have AVG 7.5 Free and Windows Defender. Firewall is the built-in XP
Home
SP2 one. However, since the IE7 re-install I haven't had any "IE has to
close" messages so I'm hoping that I haven't had a hijack problem - don't
have the knowledge to deal with that.
