Hi Bob,

One of February's updates was a cumulative security update for IE7. This
included a new executable version of IEXPLORE.EXE and, in some cases, this
can prevent connecting to the Web. There is actually nothing wrong with this
update. What you need to do is to check your internet security and firewall
settings and grant this program access to the Internet. There is a new
version of this program most months and it is possible that you may have to
repeat this each time.
