mIRC wont connect to servers and Grisoft AVG Free antivirus wont connect to
the update server now. They had been working fine previously. The only
change I had made was to download several critical updates last night.

I'm assuming WinXP SP2. Try checking out Windows Firewall under the
Exceptions tab. The most recent group of patches whacked a few of my
exceptions, perhaps that is what has happened to you.
