One f the last three updates KB933566, KB905836 or KB929123 breaks both my
web browsers. I have to use System Restore to get them back.

The programs open to a blank page and will not navigate to any website, and
when they are closed they crash. I see several others are haveing the same
issue imediately following these updates.

My network still fumtions and I can still access email and auto update still
functions on varios programs fine.

Others have reported that the updates cause such problems ONLY if there was
an anti-virus or anti-spyware application active at the time of applying the
updates.

So try disabling all anti-virus, anti-spyware, download accelerator,
3rd-party firewall (re-enable Windows Firewall) and then try applying the
updates again.
