Vista 64 bit updates from April 13/10

I have a wireless network and two laptops. After the updates installed
automatically yesterday on the Vista laptop (the other one has XP) I
discovered I could not connect to an ftp server I use regularly. I couldn't
connect on either laptop although I had Internet access for everything else
on both. Each computer has a stand-alone copy of IPswitch, which is the
program I use. I used system restore and things worked fine. Just to be
sure I tried installing the updates again and got the same result so had to
use system restore again. Of course I don't know which of the updates caused
the problem and without installing and restoring for all 12 or 13 of them I
wondered if anyone else encountered anything like this yesterday.

Debby,

FTP logon issues *may* stem from the 2 updates that address the
vulnerability in this Security Bulletin, Debby:

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS10-019 - Critical
Vulnerabilities in Windows Could Allow Remote Code Execution (981210)

The 2 updates are KB978601 and KB979309. The only way to know for
certain that these, or at least one of them, are causing the logon
issue, means that you should first install KB978601, restart if prompted
to, and then check to see if the issue is present.
If not, install KB979309, restart if prompted to, and then check again.

IF one of the above Security updates is causing this FTP logon issue,
then contact MS to notify them and they will assist you for ***
no-charge ***
