MY Internet Stopped working after installing windows updates

[l33tcoder]

Today 9 July 2008 two windows updates were installed in my system

1. Security Update For Windows XP (KB951748)

2. Security Update for windows xp (KB951978)

after these updates i restarted my computer as usual and my internet
stopped working on my browsers which were (IE 7 and Mozilla Firefox 3)

what's wrong with these updates

I am using windows xp (service pack 3) and all my internet was working good
before installing these updates

NOTE: - i am dead sure that these updates were the problem as when i
uninstalled them my internet started working on Mozilla firefox and IE

I had the same problem--its just the first one that causes the problem,
though... if you look in the details (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951748)
it's modifying lots of system files used for networking. For now, just
disable automatic updates until Microsoft fixes it.

Assuming ZA is installed:

Keep an eye on this thread:

Although the fix here should work:

I strongly disagree with this advice:

Perhaps a better firewall is what's needed?

PS: The vulnerability addressed by KB951748 *is* a big deal! See

problems are now fixed with security update & ZAin ZA latest update...

Follow the link below , download new update version of ZA 70.483.000, and
then download the security update KB 951748 afterwards.

The updates are not the problem. Your system is infested with non-conforming
and flawed software. It's name is ZoneAlarm.

btw, the problem was cured early this morning....

my ZA security suite is as good as ever.... try it, you might like it... ;D
