Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP

Last night I was going about my regular buisness of (after work) getting on
and vegging in fron of my laptop while I watch TV. An update came around
(mind you everything was working fine yesterday) which was: Cumulative
Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP (KB980182). Now for
some reason I can't access yahoo.com or lotro.com? These two sites are the
only ones that I can't seem to access for some reason? I have tried to
search for malicious spyware and viruses nothing comes across (McAfee, and
Malewarebytes) I have tried to System restore to a date I know nothing was
wrong and did the updates along with updateing my McAfee again still didn't
work? And then I tried going online to see if anyone else had the same
problems found some sites but said to change MTU settings in my router and
computer? Didn't have to do that before why now? So if someone can get back
to me I would appreciate it thanks!

Yep me too turned off firewall and shutdown McAffe sw still not able to install

Are you running WinXP SP2 or SP3?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed (e.g., McAfee
Security Center) and 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 you installed
IE8?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
