Windows users have reported problems accessing the Internet via a dial-up connection after installing one of the 12 security updates Microsoft released Tuesday, security organizations reported Friday.

Applying the MS06-025 patch -- which fixes a pair of "critical" vulnerabilities in Windows' Routing and Remote Access Service -- breaks dial-up capability, said the SANS Institute's Internet Storm Center (ISC) in an alert posted to its Web site Thursday. Symantec followed with an advisory of its own Friday.

According to the ISC warning, the patch prevents users from using a dial-up connection, breaks applications that have dial-up functionality, and bars scripts from running.

Sorry imidiot I forgot to thank you.
This info given quickly can prevent a lot of problems.
There should be a permanent thread in this forum dedicated to this subject---as it effects ALL Windows users.
Thank you again my friend. >f

about a month ago, one of the updates caused my computer to fatally crash

it worked fine until i downloaded the update...it froze soon after and would not reboot

i could do a system restore through safe mode (took about 3 hours on a relatively fast computer), but the update would automatically download as soon as i rebooted

i needed to buy a new one
