Disabling Connection

i have downloaded updates and now my internet connection will not disconnect,
i keep gettin the message "it is not possible to disable the connection at
this time. This connection may be using one or more protocols that do not
support plug and paly, or it may have been initiated by an other user or the
system account."
This only happened after i downloaded the updates, i use windows XP and
McAfee security centre, please can somebody help.

I have the same problem (on a Dell Inspirion 600m laptop, XP Professional).
I tried many options: updated relevant drivers, updated using the LAN rather
than wireless (but then the LAN could not be disabled), etc. Then I used
restore to back out of all recent updates and loaded each one at a time. On
my computer it is KB905474 Windows Genuine Advantage Notification that causes
the problem (and I DEFINITELY have a valid Windows install). Therefore one
solution: don't install KB905474.

Glad it worked. I'll be interested to see if it works for others. Hope
Microsoft fixes the problem eventually.
