unable to logon to any sites

[Pierre Levesque, AIA]

For whatever reason, I have been unable to logon to any webpage with UN/PW.
Can't get to any of my bank accounts, creditors, Ebay, Paypal etc etc etc.
I get a "page cannot be displayed"

I have cleared all my cache and temp files and cleaned out my host file but
can't seem to find an answer.

Fix if This problem occurs after you apply the 832894 security update
(MS04-004) or the 821814 hotfix.

SYMPTOMS
Programs that use Wininet functions to post data (such as a user name or a
password) to a Web server retry the POST request with a blank header if the
Web server closes (or resets) the initial connection request.
