I really appreciate your patience with me Frank and your willingness to
share
your knowledge on these discussion groups. Are you using IE6? I'm
wondering
if the problem would be experienced on a machine that you have which is
using
only IE6 and not IE7? Thank you again for your time here.

Of course I'm not using IE6.
I'm not having a problem on any of my machines. But I don't run Norton,
McAfee or Trend.
 
There appears to be a problem with kb942615 and IE6. You suggested in other
posts that user should turn off antivirus and antispyware programs, remove
kb942615, install kb942615 and then start av and aspy programs back up. Here
you suggest to install kb942367. I'm wondering if the problem that users are
experiencing is really understood.

I saw a reference to a registry hack posted by another MVP in another group.
I just can't find it, now. I wonder if it is something about the combination
of Windows XP and MS Internet Explorer 6. I have not had any trouble after
the latest updates, but I am running Windows MCE 2005 (based on Windows XP
Pro, but without the NT Domain capabilities) and MS Internet Explorer 7.

I also wonder what happens if one resets to a machine state prior to the
updates, does a thorough check for malware, uninstalls the AV and AS
applications after verifying a clean machine, installs the updates, and
re-installs the AV and AS applications. Just a wild shot in the dark because
I don't have the problem, nor the OS+browser combination which seems to be
associated with the problem.

Hi All,
I have cured the issue for me on a Win XP SP2 laptop after the patch
tuesday. here it is;
I just did a test and there are 5 other KB's and 2 net frameworks that are
dependencies and all need to be removed. I have done so rebooted and the
problem is gone.
The KB's are
KB937894
KB941568
KB941569
KB942615
KB942763
KB942840
net framework 2.0 SP1
net framework 3.0 SP1
All of the above stop working if you take out the KB942615. It seems
that this was the patches for the 11th. So there is a bug amongst them

This fix worked for me....and I tried uninstalling all updates before
but not the Netframe stuff. So I believe all in this set NEED to be
removed.

This problem cause me 10 hours of time troubleshooting....cause
multiple hard crashing....BLACK screen and harddrives spinning up
again.

There is only one story I can find on this in the media, and I replied
with your solution. I believe this is a IE6 only issue. Unless
someone says that IE7 is included. I also notice that IE7 is now a
PRIORITY update that attempt to install itself....before is was just a
suggest one.

Conspiracy theory would say they are trying to EOL IE6. But what is
more likely is all the testers have IE7 and did not bother to check if
IE6 was going to be OK.
