Yes, there's been several posts regarding problems that it
caused (how could you miss it ;-). Personally I didn't have
any because I didn't install it, I wasn't going to when I
mentioned how many known issues there were.
What I find strange about this, is it's not listed at the
Windows Update site, at least not for me. I'm on SP3, but the
patch was also for SP3 on XP. In fact I only show two updates
available at the Update site, they're not even important,
although Secunia has released info (that I posted) regarding
numerous SP3 updates. It could be M$ removed this one due to
so many issues, but they couldn't have removed all 4-6 of them.

Running XP Pro. This week's latest security update disabled
Outlook Express
and Mozilla's internet connection. My computer was able to
connect to the
internet, but neither Outlook Express nor Mozilla could make
any connection
at all to any sites (I didn't try Internet Explorer.) I tried
rebooting
several times but no luck, so I did system restore then
everything worked
again. I reinstalled the update, but the same thing happened.
So it was
obviously the update that caused the problem.
Has this happened to anyone else with this particular update? I
must say I
have been lucky so far and installed all security updates
without any
problems, though I understand others have sometimes had
problems.
