When is Microsoft going to provide a fix for the updates that are reeking
havoc with Internet Explorer functionality??? The only way to surf the net
is to shut off firewall. Great security update there, guys.

Windows version? IE version? What third-party firewall are you running?

I was not even able to get IE to find any sites so I restored to earlier time
just so I could get back on the internet to find why I couldn't get on the
net. So whats the answer to this problem apart from disabling firewall.
