Damages caused by Vista Security Update KB925902 !

I installed Vista Security Update KB925902 on 04 April 2007. Since then, the
message "Windows cannot find any networks" comes up whenever I try to connect
to my wireless network. (My old computer with Windows XP still connects
normally to the network.)

I tried to restore the system to a restore point before the installation of
the update, but this message comes up, after restarting the computer:
"System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files
and settings were not changed. Details: An unspecified error occurred during
System Restore." If I choose a different restore point, as also mentioned in
the message, Restore still doesn't work.

So, what is this??! I trust MICROSOFT and install a so-called "Security
Update" just to have problems that Vista cannot solve? I only got Vista
because I bought a new computer; I was quite happy with Windows XP. But now
I'm seriously considering to move to LINUX !!!!!! And if this damage is
fixed, I WILL NEVER INSTALL A MICROSOF SECURITY UPDATE AGAIN!

Just to add that uninstalling the update did not solve the inability to
connect to my wireless network.

Help would be appreciated.

I had to do a System Restore to recover from this update.

SOLUTION !

Read the posting by Bert Kinney on "System Restore Problem?" in Windows
Vista Performance and Maintenance. It's a very useful text!

By following his instructions, I could make System Restore work (its not
working had to do with Norton Security). I could then restore the computer to
a restore point before the installation of Vista Security Update KB925902. As
a result, the computer now can see again my wireless connection.

Unfortunately I had the same problem with this update and after installing it
the first time upon reboot wga says my retail ultimate is not genuine and
locks me out of my system. It won't reactivate and it will not accept my
valid key. I had to boot off my dvd and use the system restore off it to
return my system back to where it was prior to installing the update. I've
turned off auto update so this one will not reinstall itself. Shame on you
MS for releasing trash like this to your paying customer base.
