Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer in Windows Vista

This update (KB937143), together with several others, downloaded on 14th
August. When I restarted the system, I was unable to access the Internet from
Internet Explorer - I was unable to access my router as well. This also
happened last month with a similar update - KB933566. Unlike last month where
KB929123 prevented me from accessing Windows Mail, everything else is working
normally. I uninstalled KB937143 and was able to access the Internet again.
I have set these updates as 'hidden' to prevent them from automatically
installing and would be grateful for any advice on how to install these and
similar updates in future without having the same problems.
Apart from these updates, my system is fully updated. I use Norton Internet
Security which is also up to date. My system is Windows Vista Home Premium
Edition (32-bit).
Interestingly, the same update that installed on 8th May (KB931768) did not
cause any problems at all.

I have had the same problem but with the 64 bit system.... this update
(KB938979) knocked out my internet and one of the ones today did also. Any
idea why? I have an evga 680i board if that helps.

The updates released today August 14, 2007 render my computer unusable as
well. I had to restore to just before updates.

I could be wrong but seems the file or the pointer for service Base
Filtering Engine is wrong or missing. With out this service, many others seem
to be effected starting with DCOM and network dependancies.

This seems to be the only place to report this so here it is.

I installed the updates for Aug 14 but my computer froze up when the computer
tried to reboot. Then I had a complete computer blue screen and was unable
to start my computer. I had to do a clean install.

Temporarily uninstall NIS, enable the Windows Firewall, then reinstall
937143 and see if everything's OK.

Don't do ANYTHING else online without anti-virus protection!

This happened to me as well with the 64-bit OS. The BFE appears to be
broken, which is a required service for both IE and the Windows firewall.
Has this been confirmed or acknowledged officially yet, and is there a fix to
this problem besides just not installing the update? I had to restore my
system to recover.

If you follow my instructions in the post 'Problematic Updates in Windows
Vista', also in this newsgroup, you should be able to install this update (at
least it worked for me).
