Cumulative Security Update for IE stops IE7 from showing web pages

Hello!
1. Installing Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (944533)
stops IE7 (in Windows Vista x64 Ultimate) from showing web pages.
Uninstalling the Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (944533)
resumes IE7 showing web pages.
2. Any version of Agent mail.ru (messenger, e-mail notifier,
http://agent.mail.ru) cannot connect in the Windows Vista x64 Ultimate. I
checked everything the Agent mail.ru support suggested. The support does not
know what to suggest any more.
Best regards,
Dima

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

If tweaking your third-party firewall's settings don't help, try the
following:

1. Disable your anti-virus application, any real-time protection provided by
an anti-spyware application (except for Windows Defender; includes Spybot
Tea Timer, SpySweeper Guards, AVG AS guard.exe, etc.), disable any
third-party firewall AND enable the Windows Firewall.

NB: You're "working without a net" now: Don't to ANYTHING else online (e.g.,
browsing; reading email; chatting) except #4 below until your anti-virus
application has been re-enabled! If you're running ZA Free firewall, you
may need to uninstall it instead of disabling it.

2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB944533)"
via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked at top right)
and reboot.

3. Re-do #1 above.

4. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical Updates
offered. If "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional Updates
category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's
additional security.

5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if
applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable your third-party
firewall.

Any security patch released by MS is just that - a security patch that is
designed to stop the bad guys.

Uninstalling it exposes both yourself and your friends to security risks.

Do I really need to do this all just to install the one of hundreds of
security updates?

My reply only addressed your first question, Dima.

No, I believe you'll find that the update is already installed but that one
or more of your security applications blocked some or all of the changes the
update tried to make, hence the "Page cannot be displayed" error. You'll
need to do "all this" to correct that problem. If it means
uninstalling/reinstalling the update (KB944533) in the proper environment
(#1 in my previous reply), so be it.

What anti-virus application or "internet security" suite is installed on the
machine? What third-party firewall might you be using (e.g., Zone Alarm;
Comodo; Norton)?

I have used Agent Mail.Ru for 3 years. It is the best messenger for Russians
because it is integrated with the best free russian e-mail, and services. The
e-mail box is 10gb, good spam control...

Hi Dima,

What security software are you using? It sounds as though the firewall is
blocking the connection. You need to check the settings in your firewall
configuration page. Check that 'iexplore.exe' and 'WinMail.exe' are set to
'Always Allow' instead of 'Auto' (or the equivalent, depending on your
firewall).
