Not using ZA, AVG is always up to date, but.. Last few days, I have had 
my ISP simply disconnects, then my modem goes into "seeking", 
*eventually* get a link, then spends a bit of time syncing with there 
server. Then, it usually goes down several more times, rinse, repeat, 
until it stays up...

Probably not related to the patch, but its an odd coincidence that it 
started happening about when the patch probably hit the corporate world, 
and its damned irritating, but not *quite* as irritating as spending 5+ 
minutes waiting for some tech to get on the phone, then having the 
connecting go live again... :(
