Hi

In the past couple of days, ie has become unstable on my machine - correlating directly with me autoinstalling security updates.

The symptoms...ie hangs on web pages for ages (without using bandwidth), then continues as normal...or...if I have say three ie windows open, one will give a send/dont send error report to microsoft, then close down only that window...leaving the others workin fine.

To the best of my knowledge, I havent installed SP2.

Some of these hotfixes are listed as sp2 hotfixes under add/remove programs.

My pc has zonealarm, a NAT router and Nod32 av (current)..I AM partial to a lil downloading here and there....so whaddya recon...should I roll back and drop the updates ???
