Here is something for everyone to think about. I was using my
computer just fine. Both outlook Express 6 and IE7 had no problems.

I saw that there were new security patches so I downloaded them and
rebooted the computer system. Now both Outlook and IE7 act as if they
can not get out to the internet. Now my Firefox and everything else
is working fine.

Outlook details:
Outlook Express 6 version:6.00.2900.2180

Error: The host XXXXX.com could not be found... socket error:11001,
Error number 0x800ccc0d


IE details:
Internet Explorer 7 Version: 1.0.5730.11IC

Error: Can't find web page.



YES, I did uninstall the patches and it had no impact.

So if anyone has any thoughts or if this happen to you please post.

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled.

Thank you Frank.

I did turn off the anti-virus software and anything else that might
block. I haven't done the uninstall, but all this doesn't explain why
both Outlook Express and IE7 are both down.

I have one security update for IE7 downloaded on 10/09/07 and two for
Windows on the same date. Open the Control Panel and remove them. Turn off
your machine and then reboot. If things are back to normal, go to Windows
Updates and download them manually /after/ you have turned off your
anti-virus program. How is it now?

So if anyone has any thoughts or if this happen to you please post.

1. Physically disconnect the machine from the internet.

2. Temporarily disable your anti-virus application and any real-time
protection provided by any anti-spyware applications (e.g., Spysweeper;
Spyware Doctor; AVG Anti-Spyware; S*PERAntiSpyware; don't worry about
Windows Defender, if installed).

3. Uninstall the following updates via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show
Updates box is checked):

Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB939653)

Security Update for Windows XP SP2 (KB941202)

4. Reboot.

5. After making sure the real-time protections in #2 above are STILL
disabled and that your fireall is still ENABLED, open one (1) IE window, go
to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any critical updates
offered, then reboot.

DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE ONLINE UNTIL YOU'VE REBOOTED!

6. Make sure the real-time protections in #2 above are now enabled.

Dear PA Bear,

I did follow your instructions and it did seem to work until I turned
back on my other security. After much testing I have figured out what
is sort of going on.

The problem is coming from Norton Firewall. The new patches have
trigger something that Norton Firewall does not like. When I turn off
the Norton firewall and use the regular windows firewall both Outlook
Express and IE7 work fine. Norton Firewall on they both fail.

I'm experimenting with the Firewall setting trying to figure out how
to get Norton to work.

Thanks for all of your help.

Do yourself a favor and don't use anything from Norton or McAfee with
Outlook Express. They do not get along together. I use a router and the
Windows Firewall and Avast for an anti-virus.

I would suggest either Avast, (freeware), or NOD32, (not free).

In the case of Avast, choose Custom Installation and under Resident
Protection, uncheck: Internet Mail and Outlook/Exchange.

Norton, and McAfee, products are not Outlook Express friendly, and I don't
know of any OE-MVP that would recommend using them.

[X-post to IE General and Windows Update newsgroups for the widest
audience.]

You're welcome. (To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include
all of previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.)

The first reference in the Known Issues section of
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939653 (KB article for the IE update
released on 09 Oct-07) points you to the following KB article:

Error message after you install a Windows Internet Explorer 7 update from
Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "Webpage cannot be displayed"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942818
=============
Symantec Corp. & Symantec Norton Group
Customer Service (800) 441-7234
Service & Support: http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/index.html
=============
My recommendation:

1. Uninstall all Norton software via Add/Remove Programs.

2. Enable the Windows Firewall.

3. Run this removal tool:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05033108162039

4. Immediately install the 30-day free trial version of, e.g., NOD32* or
KAV7**

5. Manually update your new anti-virus application then run a full system
scan.

Do your problems persist now? Can you get a refund from Symantec for
breaking the functionality of your computer?

[Don't forget to subscribe to your new AV app before the free-trial period
runs out!]

Especially those who don't understand how their third-party security apps work...

So perhaps you should go an get an update for Firefox and see
if your firewall will then block it too? ; }
