I am running 32 bit Vista SP2 on a Compaq Presario C770US laptop, and yesterday received the 16.8.0.41 update to NIS 2009. But it appears to have broken the New Tab capability of IE8 (8.0.6001.18882).
If I use the New Tabs selection on the right click menu IE8 hangs up, sometimes never recovers and sometimes opens a new IE8 window while the old session stays hung up Trying To Connect. Same effect if the site automatically opens a selection in a new tab.
The update is the oonly thing that changed yesterday, and I have found that I can turn the problem on and off by turning Browser Protection on and off. Browser Protection Off and IE8 tabs work fine, Browser Protection On and IE8 tabs are broken.
Anyone else having this problem?
