Specific update for Windows on Windows 7 disables the internet connection in Internet Explorer

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. 10/14/2010 my computer installed something around 18 updates to Windows. Immediately after the restart, I couldn't get an internet connection on Internet Explorer. My computer tells me I have 90% Wi - Fi, but I get nothing on Internet Explorer. I restored my computer to until I installed updates, and immediately after the restart of the internet worked well. I decided then to individually install each update of Windows one by one and found a specific update that causes this problem on my computer. It's "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB2360131). I am able to install all the updates, only this specific one stop my internet to view Web pages.
On a side note, I have another computer with Vista, and this computer shows no problem after installing all updates. I don't want to change my settings to manually install updates, I love that they install automatically, but that just doesn't work if this particular day keep install and maintain close my internet. Any suggestions as to why it continues to be?
Thank you!

[I turned first on my new computer on 30 August.] I tried to activate [the 60 days Norton free trial] in the first week or two, so maybe between 7 September - 14 September... not [uninstall before I installed MSE] however.

You must have activated the free trial immediately (i.e., August 30), not a week or two later. In addition, you should have uninstalled Norton free trial AND download / run the Norton Removal Tool BEFORE you installed Microsoft Security Essentials.

I suspect that you see the effects of a hijackware infection. Chances are that your computer is already infected at the time wherever you tried to activate the free trial of Norton. See...

Cleaning a compromised system
     http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" once again in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
     http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

VERY IMPORTANT!-online The Norton free trial will be reinstalled (but invalid!) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the Norton Removal Tool before you install any Windows updates AND before installing your new antivirus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials).

If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/threads

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

Wish I had better news for you. Good luck!

  • Firewall Windows disable the Internet Explorer loads Up after slow start after the installation of Windows updates

    Hello, (this the mystery of on and Off and back on Windows Firewall with slow loading of programs like Internet Explorer as this all is pass it on firewall, disable the firewall, the firewall, it occurs only during starts, after he fine / but very annoying on reboots whom he accuses of my computer down) / listed below is the cause of it , and when she first started, you have a solution?

    I recently installed the last 16 (High Profile) updates to security, for most security updates and updates from net framework as well as the removal of malware for windows XP tool.

    After installing these updates, now my Windows Firewall turns off during 'Boot Up' on all restarts. If I try to load Internet Explorer, it will also not load up to minutes serveral / while this happens... That's fine, then finally my firewall itself loads Up quickly turns to Internet Explorer and back on during this time around the same time.

    After these updates these things are happening on my computer now, it's as if there is a process running, but nothing run any virus, Trojan or worm etc just these updates caused this problem. I don't know if it updates is corrupt or not, but have tried different things as system file checker /scan etc with no luck.

    (1) computer boots to the top and seems to Load Up Fine ' until the ' or 'Look at this' but isn't, something is running in the background or process "wing unstalled" is obviously "unhooked", etc..

    2) try to load Internet Explorer last minutes and is very slow to load up, even if I 'don't load Internet Explorer' must still a long while that as in the firewall turn off for awhile some several «minutes» (way too long), before "auto turn on automatically return.

    (3) turns firewall Windows itself on "finally" as Internet Explorer finally loads upwards as well the two Internet Explorer is able to load 'definitely' and the firewall is on "finally" as many minutes later as listed above, at the same time.

    This could be the cause? Only, it has begun to 'After' I ran windows update and installed the 'most recently high security updates for windows XP' there were 16 listed mainly security updates and updates of net framework as well as the software removal tool windows malware.

    That's all that is changed on my system, I tried many things, nothing seems to fix this problem with my computer. I know for a fact that these updates are the cause, but am not sure that you caused it? Or how do to solve this problem, any sugguestions would be appreciated.

    Please answer questions following diagnosis by number in your very next answer (no need to quote this post):

    3. do you have a Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

  • Windows Live Safety Scanner for Windows 7 using MS Internet Explorer 9

    Hi, I recently moved from my trusty XP to a new with Windows 7. I used to regularly use the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner - usually just clean - especially to clean the registry. I used to find after receiving updates Microsoft, the registry needs to be cleaned. I would like to do similar now. The first time I tried it, it worked well and took me to the site for Vista & Win 7 whereonly a complete analysis is available. I went with this and ensure that enough werer there are 100 registry errors to be fixed. Since then, I've been unable to use it. A message appears on the bottom of my screen saying. When I click on the button to install the scanner, wait please sign lights up a message appears saying "Internet Explorer blocked a control Active X, so this page will not display correctly." Then blue, he says "what is the risk. There is not the possibility to allow the Active X control. We once I went into Windows and the security option and clicked on each ActiveX little to ask. At that time, he was installing the scanner. However, when I clicked on that he returned to tell the scanner to install. It seemed to go into a loop.  Can someone help me on how to solve this problem?

    Hi, I thought to http://onecare.live.com/site/en-gb/default.htm?keyword=scannerhome

    In fact I got it to work this morning. It reported record 119 errors and corrects all but 15. What I had to do, was to go to Internet Options, Security, which, down to amd 0 also unchecked ProtectedZone. The scanner then ran successfully.

  • Try to install the latest version of Flash for Firefox on Windows XP, get the Internet Explorer Script error

    I am trying to install the latest version of Flash (file install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe), browser = Firefox 14 (current), OS = Windows XP.  I tried several times, making sure to disable Norton Antivirus Autoprotect first.

    At some point throughout the process - while downloading or during Assembly - I get the following error message:

    Internet Explorer Script error

    Line: 1

    Char: 10010

    Error: 'ActionLaunchAdobe' is not defined

    Code: 0

    URL: http://127.0.0.1:1174/app/_js/adobe.js

    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? [Yes] [None]

    If I answer [Yes] or [no] the result is the same - the program crashes. It does not close, and when I close it manually it asks if I want to stop it. But if I leave it there, nothing happens.

    By the advice of the site, I uninstalled Flash in order to restart costs. This means that, instead of having an outdated Flash version, I now none.

    I tried to RTFM, but research for this error go empty.  I'm curious to know why Internet Explorer being participates in it at first. But mostly, I'm just curious as to how to get this thing to work.

    Thanks for you help with anything that can give me.

    the problem was owner and permission on my programs, all users, the program data and my programs (86).

    As I type this i / m re - run SFC/verify only and a big pile of sucessfully some updates installed.

    What have I done? I took possession of the special directories above from "TrustedInstaller".

    Even when owned by TrustedInstaller, it does not have permissions. Some places I found rejection specific to the owner of the network.

    -What happened? Do you have a trusted Installer get stuck Mid-install?

    I took possession of SYSTEM, and made sure the CREATOR had every right, as in the SYSTEM and

    USER, AUTHENTICATED USER. I was perhaps too broad.

    I took possession, and then all of the repressed, updates windows are presented themselves to install,.

    and I expect /VERIFYNOW SFC before as I mark this as running.

    I'm fairly certain VS2008 and VS2010 now repair and install.

    Restart the system for the same configuration of boot clean and do a check for updates in Windows Update in Control Panel.
    If the system can search, detect, download, and install updates now, save an update of a subsequent test.

    If the system can or cannot now, cancel the clean boot configuration and restart in normal Windows mode.
    See if the registered update installs now.

    If the system still cannot install the updates, please copy and paste the contents of one of the newspapers that CheckSUR created when he ran. They are located in and are named

    If the system can install the updates in the clean boot configuration, but not in normal mode of Windows, then there are 3rd party software which is the origin of the update installation problem.

  • Failed to update for Windows Vista KB21410007

    I can't install the update for Window Vista KB21410007. I have tried both manually and automatic installation. Can I download the update and after I restarted my computer to complete the update, there is a message that says something like: coming back from changes, update could not install

    Perform a clean boot to disable all third-party applications. This is to find out if there are third-party applications or services, the cause of a conflict.

    Refer to: how to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Now, try and install the update.

  • Update for Windows Vista KB980248: 80070017__ error Code

    I tried to install the update for Windows Vista KB980248 but receive the error Code:80070017

    "There was a similar issue, published with the proposed solution, being (1)" run the Chkdsk.exe too check the drive for errors"and 2" rename the download folder.  The two were not successful.

    I also tried a number of different methods as suggested by MS technical support (see below), but none succeeded, so I hope someone else has also encountered this problem and has a solution.

    The steps I've already done: clean boot. downloaded and installed the update manually; high my privileges as a user profile; Services activated window important; disabled user account control; Run the component tool to reset Windows Update in default; Not Windows Installer and then re-recorded Windows Installer; use the System File Checker. installed the updated system preparation tools.

    Any help appreciated

    After reading the process to carry out a repair for Vista installation, I was not confident I could do given my lack of COMPUTER skills and feared that I would have done something wrong.  But while browsing the site there are other suggestions that I adopted. For example, I downloaded Registry Booster, ran the System File Checker (which I had already done but thought, no harm to do again), and other suggestions are in response to similar questions like mine.  I also ran an another Chk Dsk (I also run this previously).  To restart, as he was driving through the verification process, he said,' windows replaced bad cluster in file name \window\winsxs\x8A9C8~1.226\ 8915cambria.ttc'.  And I was happy, because it was the file you advised has been damaged.  I don't know exactly how it happed, as I said, I had perfomred chk dsk a numer of times before.  I was successfully able to install the update for Window Vista KB980248!  I was so happy after all the anxiety.

    Thank you very much Andrew, for your time, assistance and patience. Very much appreciated.
