Possible problems with MS's latest round of security downloads/updates

I apologize if this is in the wrong section but was not sure where to post
it.

On Monday I downloaded the latest patches sent to me by MS. There were two
for Outlook (which I do not use) about about 6 for various parts of XP.
After a reboot I began to have trouble staying connected to the internet. I
use IE7 and Firefox, both would work for just a few minutes or web page
changes and then I got the constant waiting symbol and they would never
connect. I used system restore and that helped for a short time but it
quickly reverted to the same problem. Used sys restore again and same deal.
I think I am just going to bite the bullet and restore a backup that I know
will give me a good system but I am now afraid to download the
updates/patches.

Sure would appreciate any advice!
