I think I've found another problem with Update KB950759 which I installed on
6/29/08, and I'm hoping that someone can help.

I use McAfee software provided by Comcast for virus protection, and after
6/29 the next automatically scheduled weekly virus scan would have run on 7/4
but it didn't. The last successful scheduled scan was on 6/27, just two days
before the KB950759 installation.

When I open McAfee Security Center and ask it to run a manual scan, I get
the following error message inside of a Windows Internet Explorer box that
says:

Unable To Create
gObjRegHelper{6A5A9B2E-3BD7-4c70-83F2-E664A86568F4}

If I click OK in that box, I can run the manual scan, but I'm not able to
set up an automated schedule anymore.

The fact that this problem started right after the KB950759 installation
(which is a security update for IE7) and the error message is coming from IE,
leads me to believe that the problem is somehow related to the update. What
do you think?

What Leonard said.

PS: KB950759 was released almost 2 months ago: Why did you wait 6+ weeks to
install it?

Could be a permissions thing. ProcMon would help.

Another possible sign of a permissions thing. E.g. what account
is the "automated schedule" run under? ProcMon or even Process Explorer
could help with that too.

Depending on how the McAfee thing is hooked in it could be that the install
of the update has broken its hooks. In that case I would uninstall the extension
and reinstall it, hoping that it was still compatible enough to be reinstalled
completely.

If you can't figure it out I suspect you need to talk with someone at McAfee
who provides more than first level support. ; )


Good luck
