RE: Can't view certain websites! cash_fan1

[alexK]

I tagged on "cash_fan1" s topic call for help, I found the same problem, as I could not Connect to Banks and Government Websites.
I contacted my ISP and on their advise, removed the following:

AD-WARE
SPYBOT S & D

and leave AVG and Windows Defender.

This did not solve the problems yet, as there were two obstacles to fix:
msg 0x800106a - Windows Defender
msg 0x800b0001 - Windows Update

Windows Defender had to be removed.
Installed  a series of DLL's. under REGSVR32 XXXXX.DLL
Then re-installed a fresh copy of (free) Windows Defender.
Then ran MS Windows Update.

Problem Solved.

I've been suspecting some Window update to cause this problem, and after some more digging, I think Windows Defender update KB890830 may be a culprit. I still need someone with the same problem to test it out.
