Ok, here is what I would do in this situation then.

1) Keeping in mind that you said it worked fine before you DLed the 64 updates, go to the system restore and restore it to a point before you installed the 64 updates.

2) Make sure that after the system is restored, that the internet is indeed working again. Assuming that all you did was install the updates between the internet working and not working, it should now work again.

3) The help forums on McAfee's website has a LOT of people writing about having troubles with internet connection with their 2007 products, so go ahead and uninstall all of your McAfee services. ***Note that after this, your computer will be unprotected!!!

4) Get onto Internet Explorer, but don't go to any site other than click tools then Window's Update. Download all of the Windows updates. The support site for McAfee recommends you're computer is completely updated before installing their 2007 products.

5) Restart

6) Now go ahead and install McAfee. If you've already paid for your subscription, I would recommend going to the website I gave you earlier to sign on and download them. This way you are getting a more up-to-date version than what is on the install disk you bought.

7) Make sure that your Norton products are uninstalled, go to windows security settings and make sure that windows firewall is off, and then make sure that your McAfee firewall is set at normal.

8) Restart

This should (hopefully) fix the problem, again assuming that the problem only existed after you DLed the updates.
