After some help.
Following updating IE, I lost connection to the internet although I could still download email In the past, when this has happened I need to uninstall Zone Alarm and then reinstall. Did this and connection to the Internet is fine Only problem now is that I can't shutdown my PC. Everytime I do, I get the fatal blue screen Tried uninstalling Zone Alarm again (As that was the last change), but no different
Any ideas?

I would use another account (create one if you havent got one) and see if it happens then as it may be your profile corrupt.
does it happen if you dont open IE? If that is the case try IE with no addons this should be on the menu

"Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) and the STOP error messages that are displayed is why I suggested you disable the automatic restarts. As cryptic as these messages can be, they do provide a place to begin looking for issues impacting shutdown. To make it a bit easier, I've listed the STOP messages in the table below. A detailed description of each error message is here."

Quote from: axisofevil Try Firefox :).
I do use Firefox most of the time. The IE update came as part of the Auto update

Quote from: Oldjim Can you roll back to a point before the update
I guess that would be before the IE update. Can I uninstall the update?

The PC is shutting down fine now.
The only minor problem is that when downloading software of the net, I seem to get a very small invalid file rather that the full software. Firefox took about three goes and can't get I Tunes to work at all. Downloading a 50KB file instead of a 65MB file v Any ideas?

As an afterthought though, and I may get lambasted for suggesting this. You can always stop the automatic updates from auto installing and go the manual route. That way you can review and select the updates that you want and need. You just need to check regularly for any updates in future.

It is the other programs. Firefox, I tunes. Adobe PDF Reader took about ten attempts. A couple times it downloaded 70 MB of rubbish and the actual file was only 35MB
