Greetings,

I have tested deploy patch for KB972260 / MS09-034, to 11 Windows XP SP2 PCs.
2 of them have problems, where the IE suddenly shuts down when surfing
websites.

Anyone encountered this kind of issue?

Thank you

Why hasn't Win XP SP3 been installed yet?

What IE version is installed on the two computers? Assuming IE7 or IE8...

1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE in No Add-ons mode:

=> Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without
Add-ons; or

=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07/25/678113.aspx

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!

3. Does the behavior persist if you boot into Safe Mode with Networking?
[Careful! Only remain in Safe Mode just long enough to test!]

4a. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when IE7 and/or IE8 was installed?

4b. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when it was
purchased)?
 
Greetings,

All the PC are using IE 6.0 SP2.

1. Does IE6 have add-on mode?

2. I will check and feedback.

3. I will check and feedback

4a. We are running Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) v11.0.3001.2224.
All virus definitions are up-to-date.
No other spyware or third-party firewall, except Defender & SEP
As far as I know , no other application was running during install of patch
( maybe Microsoft Office) , as it was installed via WSUS 3.0 SP1.

4b. No other trial software was installed / ever installed.

IE6 does not include a 'Start in No Add-ons mode' option, no, but you can
selectively disable Add-ons via IE Tools | Manage add-ons.

Or you can do a reset:

No Add-ons mode? The closest you have in that regard is to uncheck

Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)
(in Options, Advanced tab, Browsing section)

Greetings,

I have done a reset on the IE 6.0 , for the affected PCs.

Seems to have worked after reset. After reset , the IE does not suddenly
shut down anymore.

I have enabled the add-ons , and the IE is still working OK now.

I wonder what was the cause of the errors in the first place....?

Thank you.

You're welcome & thanks for your feedback.
I wonder what was the cause of the errors in the first place....?

Without having access to the computers, I dunno. Could have been hijackware
(which may still be present on the computers in question). Could have been
Symantec Endpoint's real-time system protections running in the background
when KB972260 was installed.

Are the computers in question fully patched at Windows Update now?

Has WinXP SP3 been installed yet? If it isn't installed by 12 April 2010,
the computers will not be offered any further critical security updates nor
will Windows Update website be available.
