Thore, thanks for the link. One question though - how long does this fix last? This was a problem on a older family memeber's computer and she's not exactly computer friendly. Is the update going to try to reinstall itself anytime soon? Thanks, this fixed the problem. Thore, thanks for the link. One question though – how long does this fix last?

Thankfully, my laptop runs linux and when it connected without problems, I switched off my firewalls and found this post. How frustrating! Thank you very much for the post.

I was going nuts trying to find the problem...reset my modem about 10 times i reckon, reset my computer about 20, haha, then i realised it was my firewall (ZA) not giving me access...so i disabled it, jumped on the net using the windows firewall, and found this post, uninstalled the update, and all sweet now!

You have saved me from going mental. I have just spent hours on the phone to TalkTalk technical team who were totally unable to help me with the connection drop out problem. After 2 hours they told me to move my heavy PC downstairs and call them back. When I did their taped message said that ZoneAlarm was causing the Internet to drop out.....!!!!!! Duh .... you would think they would tell their technical team wouldn't you???. I disabled ZA and then with my connection restored found this and was able to remove the offending update. You are an absolute treasure! Thank you so much. You have saved me from going mental.
