Critical update has broken Internet Explorer

[Guest JaniceLynne]

I have an XP SP3 os, I just installed this critical update from May 1st 2014:

 

 

Windows XP Service Pack 3

 

 

Internet Explorer 8

(2964358)

 

 

Remote Code Execution

 

 

Critical

 

 

None

 

 

 

from here:

Now whenever I try to open Internet Explorer 8, it opens then immediately shuts down and a Yahoo file download box opens:

 

 

"Do you want to save this file?

 

 

Name: uk_yahoo_com.htm

 

 

Type: Firefox HTML Document

 

 

From: uk.yahoo.com

 

 

The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download."

 

 

It was functioning normally before.

 

 

Please help.
