How to reinstall cummulative update KB939653 for IE7&Vista32

Hello.

Recently, I bought a Dell Inspiron 1520 with Vista Home Premium 32
bits (Spanish language). It came with several updates preinstalled.

Yesterday I had problems of connectivity while trying to surf in IE7.
I did some research and somebody recommended uninstalling the
Cummulative security update for IE7 KB939653. I did so but I found
out that this update wasn't the cause.

Now I want to reinstall that update, so I downloaded it from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
(looks like it's the same update for both english & spanish versions
of Vista)

I launched the installer but after a few seconds it popped up a
message saying that this update doesn't apply to my system.

Now I don't know if my security is affected or if I don't need that
update anymore (maybe it was completely replaced with a more recent
cummulative update).

Do you have any suggestion for me?

Thanks,

Javier

If the machine is currently fully patched, another Cumulative Security
Update for IE is installed which supersedes 939653. In other words,
installing 939653 won't fix your problem, whatever it is.

My system is fully patched. I'm not saying that cumulative KB939653
will fix my problem. What I found was that maybe *uninstalling* it
could help. But it didn't so now I'm concerned about my security.

I just need to hear that if my system is fully patched, I don't need
that KB939653 anymore

Thanks.

X-post to IE General

If the machine's fully patched, you have KB942615 installed. It supersedes
(includes all fixes in) KB939653. You do NOT need to uninstall KB939653.

Try the networking troubleshooting suggestions in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936211.

If no joy, proceed as follows:

1. Disable your anti-virus application, any real-time protection provided by
an anti-spyware application (except for Windows Defender; includes Spybot
Tea Timer, SpySweeper Guards, AVG AS guard.exe, etc.), disable any
third-party firewall AND then enable the Windows Firewall.

NB: You're "working without a net" now: Don't to ANYTHING else online (e.g.,
browsing; reading email; chatting) except #4 below until your anti-virus
application has been re-enabled! If you're running ZA Free firewall, you
may need to uninstall it instead of disabling it.

2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB942615)"
via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked at top right)
and reboot.

3. Re-do #1 above.

4. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical Updates
offered. If "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional Updates
category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's
additional security.

5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if
applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable your third-party
firewall.
