I haven't tried this month's (December) MS updates yet because I noted
all the complaints about the one that causes IE 6 problems. But it did
prompt me to try IE 6 for the first time since installing last month's
updates (I surf with a Mozilla browser). Low and behold, IE 6 could not
access any web sites.

Is there something from last month's MS updates that may cause this problem?
 
Yes. This is the oldest complaint on the boards. Some update has a collision
with something added to Windows, and the assumption is that it is a bug. The
unavoidable conclusion to the debate is to install clean, and update. The
error always goes away till something else is added to the system. (IPod
being candidate number one of the thousands that might do it.)
Drivers and software become outdated. OEM's are in a constant battle to keep
up with changes in security needs, just as surely as an antispy app
constantly needs a new data file.
 
I never had any problem like this at all until last month's (November)
updates. Is there a specific one of the November MS updates believed to
be the culprit that I could uninstall?
Yes. This is the oldest complaint on the boards. Some update has a collision
with something added to Windows, and the assumption is that it is a bug. The
unavoidable conclusion to the debate is to install clean, and update. The
