I downloaded this update. After, I had a few sites I could not access unless
I activated Cookies, even though they were Allowed in Tools>Internet
Options>Edit>Always Allow. Bank account, etc. I have had a lot of bad luck
with updates in the past, but this was the first Critical Update I had a
problem with. Had to use system restore to do a fix.
