| SBC DSL: DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS XP UPDATE 818043
Please Sticky
DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS XP UPDATE 818043. You will not be able to browse the internet once you install it. I just got off the phone with a tier 2 tech support person and she could not figure out why I was not able to browse. When you go to windows update and look in the second section for windows xp it will show it as a recommended update. I just want to pass this on to everyone who may have this problem. System restore fixed my computer.

This update to internet Protocol Security Clients IPSec and L2TP/IPSec allows IPSec to work across Network Address Translation (NAT) boundaries. A client may connect to a Windows Server 2003 Server with IPSec or L2TP/IPSec when the client is behind one or more NATs. Users should download this update if they use IPSec and/or L2TP Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. Once you have installed this item, it cannot be removed.

Houston, TX | You should be able to remove it from Windows components. I can confirm that this can cause system slowdowns, and is only needed if you're using VPN/IPSEC. |

Also do not install XP update 811493. It will cause serious performance degradation. My 2.53ghz system was pausing until I uninstalled that update.
Boy, I really wish Linux had better gaming support... |

Try using system restore when you boot into safe mode |

Did it uninstall cleanly for you? I did the system restore and rolled it back to the day I installed it. I then went into Add/Remove and used the option to uninstall that patch. The computer rebooted never to boot again. I can't even get into safe mode.

| I just uninstalled it from Control Panel/Add Remove Programs without doing a "system restore" first. It warned me I had IE, OE and AvandGo installed and they may be affected. The restore went quickly, it rebooted, the system performance is back where it should be and I don't notice any IE, OE and AdvantGo anomalies.

I have 811493 installed. I looked in add-remove programs and it did not allow me to remove it. I haven't noticed anything unusual, but I did install it right after installing XP. Should I try to remove this update another way or just leave it alone.
Thanks for your help. |

You looked all the way at the bottom of the Control Panel/Add Remove Programs/Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q811493, right?
That's where I found mine. |

@charter.com | It's there but when I click on it, it doesn't give me the option to remove like the other programs. I have Ashampoo uninstaller installed, I wonder if i should try and use it to uninstall.
Thanks |

I probably installed 818043 since it isn't listed in Windows Update as a waiting update, but it had no perceptible effects on my system.
I installed 811493, but it did not slow down my system since I do not use the autoprotect feature of my anti-virus program. |

@charter.com | Thanks KlanXX,
