Internet Explorer / IE >> IE7 & Window XP Home Edition

When I close my PC my Automatic Updates load . Next time I open my IE I have
connection problems and the only work around I can find is to restore to an
earlier date. but...then those pecky updates are sitting there again. I am
afraid I am at risk if I don't load the updates, but I can't get online to
find a fix for my IE problem if I do? Anyone know what is in the security
patch that is causing this problem and what to do to fix it?

Internet Explorer / IE >> IE7 & Window XP Home Edition Uninstall all recent updates. Choose the update option to "download but let
me decide...". Then reinstall the updates one at a time until you find the
culprit.

Internet Explorer / IE >> IE7 & Window XP Home Edition Error message after you install a Windows Internet Explorer 7 update from
Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "Webpage cannot be displayed":
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942818

If tweaking your third-party firewall's settings don't help, try the
following:

1. Disable your anti-virus application, any real-time protection provided by
an anti-spyware application (except for Windows Defender; includes Spybot
Tea Timer, SpySweeper Guards, AVG AS guard.exe, etc.), disable any
third-party firewall AND enable the Windows Firewall.

NB: You're "working without a net" now: Don't to ANYTHING else online (e.g.,
browsing; reading email; chatting) except #4 below until your anti-virus
application has been re-enabled! If you're running ZA Free firewall, you
may need to uninstall it instead of disabling it.

2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB944533)"
via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked at top right)
and reboot.

3. Re-do #1 above.

4. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical Updates
offered. If "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional Updates
category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's
additional security.

5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if
applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable your third-party
firewall.

IMHO installing automatic updates when you close Windows is a terrible idea.
At least give us a choice. I may be closing Windows because an electrical
storm just moved into the area or because the rural power just turned off
and I don't have much battery life left on my UPS. At least let me click a
choice to do it next time I open or close Windows.
