Windows security update july 2008

[clippy46]

This update automatically installed on my computers (3 of them) and after
restart none could access the internet.
It took me nearly two days to sort the problem. Restoring to a point before
the update gave me back the internet.
I think Microsoft need to look at this to see where the conflict is/are.

Do you use ZoneAlarm?

(and the problem was created by ZoneLabs)

If using Zone Alarm firewall, install their latest version. That seems to
fix it for 99% of the people with problems. Unbinstalling older version is
not required, at least not if version 7...

If not using Zone Alarm, temporarily turn off your firewall and see if that
helps. If so, contact your firewall vendor for advice.

If none of the above applies, uninstall the patch via add/remove programs.
That should fix things, but it may also leave your PC vunerable to certain
types of attacks. Afterall, Microsoft had some reason for this patch.
Search for patch number on the MS website for more info.
