After update, cannot access web sites

We have Vista. After December 31, each time that windows is up-to-date, we lose internet access to almost all sites. With Firefox, we can get Yahoo and Yahoo mail. With explore, we get nothing. Always says "the connection has expired. Yet, we have a laptop with windows 8.1 seeping internet without problem on our home network. I did the system restore on the vista PC and that solved the problem of the internet. But the next day there was another update, and once again no internet access. Again, I must do the system restore to fix. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello

Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

'Remove an update'

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

'Remove an update - Windows 7'

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/remove-update#1TC=Windows-7

When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

Here's how to chanage update settings, if you think it is necessary to:

"Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/

Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

See you soon.

  • Win 7 64 bit: cannot access Web sites randomly

    I had this problem for a long time, with several computers and various installations of windows.

    After my computer has been for a few days, I'll suddenly find me unable to access all the web pages. Programs like MIRC, Skype and steam work perfectly, like online games. I just get a generic "unable to connect to the server" error when you try to access Web sites and I cannot ping all websites such as google.com (it instantly timeouts).

    Do ipconfig/release, / flushdns and / renew fixes it for a few minutes before I lose the ability to access the Web sites again.

    Disabling/renewal of the NIC does nothing and troubleshooting of windows doesn't find anything wrong.

    The only semi-permanent solution I found is to restart my computer, but the problem will occur again in a few days.

    Servers using openDNS makes no difference. Nor is switching between ethernet cable and wireless. This problem is not dependent on the browser. Reboot the router it corrects only for a few minutes until I became unable to use websites to access again.

    Does anyone know what the cause of the problem and how to fix it permanently?

    Hello.

    I suggest you to configure the TCP/IP settings and check if it works:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2779064/en-us

    If the problem persists, I suggest you consult the website of the manufacturer of the laptop computer to download and install the latest network driver and check the results.

    Please let us know if the problem still persists.

  • Latest version of Firefox (version 32) cannot access web sites. Using Windows 8.1 compatibility issues?

    Firefox will automatically update to the latest version which is now the 32 version. I get the following error message: "Firefox can't find the server at us.data.toolbar.yahoo.com"preceded by "Sever not found" what is happening on any site web I'm trying to access. Reload version 31 Firefox works fine, but then it will be updated again.

    Windows 8.1 is my operating system.

    The latest version is 31.0 Firefox as the only way you would be updated to the current Beta build, which is Firefox 32.0b2 (b2 = Beta 2 as you can say six to 12 beta) build is if you were on the beta channel because of you install a beta version and that he continued to use it since. If you have installed the Firefox 31.0 is upgrade to 32.0b2 then the 31.0 you have installed is a Beta version (make sure the name of the file has not had to say 31.0b# because there were nine of betas) and not the Firefox 31.0 release say mozilla.org or https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

    The typical reason for a new version (Windows) being not not able to connect after a new major version of Firefox update or install is usually due to a software firewall does not block the new .exe but it can stll have the previous version allowed.

  • Cannot access Web sites but IE can

    I can't access a website using 7 FF. I get a popup that says "secure connection failed! XML.freecause.com: 443 uses an invalid security certificate. "Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate" and it won't let me close. I have to use CTRL/ALT/DEL to close FF. I can't even access the FF support pages (including FF comments) using FF. I had to use IE to submit this. IE has no problem opening the same sites.

    The security certificate for the domain xml.freecause.com has expired because it was not renewed in time.

    You most likely have an extension that tries to contact this server, and you will need to disable this extension until the site has renewed its certificate.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    You say you "decided", and that presents all kinds of opportunities for
    my mind. If AVG had been installed and working, he would have found the
    Malware before you decide anything. If you used another
    before anti-virus program? What was it? Did you just install AVG?

    Did you leave the previous anti-virus in place program? Do you have
    two programs antivirus running? Which should never be done and could
    be the cause of your problems.

    He deleted a few things.

    Exactly what were these "few things"?

    I agree with you :)
    What are these things?
    and check if you do not have 2 antivirus or more...

    one last thing resets the settings of Internet Explorer... got to Tools--> Options Internet--> advanced--> then click on the reset button--> check on the checkbox 'delete personal settings '.
    then press Reset

    After I 'google' a web site address, I am unable to access the page directly by clicking on the link in the address; the page hangs and does not respond.

    What antivirus you have installed before? Is the virus/malware-free system? If you have a current antivirus installed and you went through at least some of the malware removal steps I list in the link I have given if you are sure that the system is clean, uninstall McAfee and see if that solves your problem. If you connect to the Internet behind a router, you can be sure for this quick test. If you are connected directly to a cable/dsl modem, then firstly download Avast or even Microsoft Security Essentials (both free). Then, disconnect from the Internet and uninstall McAfee. Install the antivirus of your choice and test. If all goes well, your problems have been caused by McAfee. This is not surprising since McAfee is perhaps the worst choice for safety, we could do.

    If you had any antivirus installed before McAfee, then you must go through all stages of thorough removal of malware listed in the my link before anything else. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • all the site went "not found HTTP 404 error. The requested resource is not found. "and the"Firefox cannot load Web sites but other programs can"page is not helping

    all the site went "not found HTTP 404 error. The requested resource is not found. "and the"Firefox cannot load Web sites but other programs can"page is not help somehow

    One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    You can try to reset (power off / on) of the router.

  • Googlebot cannot access your site. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

    Hello

    I'm a rookie at this. I just wanted to create a simple site and could use the tools webmasters google crawl my site

    but it happens

    "I received an e-mail from saying: webmaster tools".

    Googlebot cannot access your site.

    Recommended action

    If the site's error rate is 100%:

    • Using a web browser, try to accesshttp://www.graphicsigns.co.nz/robots.txt. If you are able to access it from your browser, your site can be configured to deny access by googlebot. Check your firewall configuration and the site to ensure that you are not denying access by googlebot.
    • If your robots.txt file is a static page, check that your web service has appropriate permissions to access the file.
    • If your robots.txt file is generated dynamically, verify that scripts that generate the robots.txt file are properly configured and have to run. Check the logs of your Web site to see if your scripts fail and if so try to diagnose the cause of the failure.

    If the site's error rate is less than 100%:

    • Using webmaster tools, find a day with a high error rate and review logs of your web server to this day here. Look for errors to access robots.txt file in the logs for that day and fix the causes of these errors.
    • The more likely explanation is that your site is too large. Contact your hosting provider and discuss to reconfigure your web server or by adding more resources to your Web site.
    • If your site redirects to a different host name, another possible explanation is that a URL on your site redirects to a hostname portion of his robots.txt file exposes one or more of these questions.

    Please need your help & expertise to solve this.
