Yesterday automatic updates came in with the following IE9 update

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2699988)

Download size: 11.8 MB

You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect.

Update type: Important

Security issues have been identified that could allow an attacker to compromise a system that is running Microsoft Internet Explorer and gain control over it. You can help protect your system by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

This update has stopped all browsers on my laptop from accessing the internet. It took me all day yesterday to track this update down which initially came in with 39 other updates. I uninstalled the update; Rebooted; and internet was running all browsers

1) Go to Windows Update and turn off automatic updates & install otherwise this update will continue to shut you down. I found that out the next morning(today) but knew what to do

2) You will have to uninstall this update and reboot to gain internet access once again

My question is this:

What part of the update is shutting down networking to all browsers and how can this be fixed to allow the update? This problem occurred with Vista OS and I have read it does happen with Windows 7 as well?

No but see this it appears it is a cause of the problem

although clearly not on your system

If that can cause it, do you have any similar programs

In case you have not seen it this is the reason for that update

At this time the other solution appears to be to reset IE9, after installing the update.

The web has many reports of the problem. - just one more

If you wish I will notify you by PM and on this thread as soon as I find what appears to be the definitive solution
