Well, that was fun... NOT!

Uh... I think I just infected my system by... downloading Windows critical updates. O.o;; I already had SP2, so it was just some updates, but after the reboot, my virus software stopped coming up with the system and I couldn't access the internet.
Tried for over an hour to figure it out and finally ended up doing a system restore. It doesn't seem likely... but I'm afraid to try it again.
Anybody else had any trouble?

I've been watching SP2 at work, and thought I had it figured out. Though, I put it on last night and didn't start having trouble until tonight when I tried to do the rest of the updates. And now I can't get my stinking virus software to reload for anything. ~_~ Getting a little tired of this whole thing.
Ya try and do the right thing... *sigh*

The thing just wreaked total havok on my internet connection. I'd done a lot of reading up on SP2 prior to installing, and knew that internet/firewall things was one of the changes, but no matter what I did, nothing fixed it. Even totally disabling the new functions didn't work.

*looks up with screw driver clamped in teeth and a feral gleam in her eye*
So help me God... if I didn't have so much uh... 'art' on this thing, I'd drag it into work and make my tech geek buddy, who kept reassuring me that SP2 was no biggie, fix it! *grrrr*
