Also (especially if this is sudden, new behavior & KB979906 is failing to install)... Open Internet Explorer (only) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com | Select CUSTOM and scan | Install any Critical Security Updates offered (e.g., KB979906). NB: If IE7 or IE8's installed and a Root Certificates update is listed in the Optional Software updates category on the left-hand side of the scan results window, install it to take full advantage of IE's enhanced security.
