windows update

i recently ran windows update and downloaded all of the updates. The only problem now is that when i try to access a website using http://usernameassword@www.address.com
it comes up with invalid syntax. This used to work before i installed the updates but as i said... doesn't now.

Does anybody know what update to uninstall

The update that changes this behavior is #832894. However, I wouldn't install it, because it is a significant security risk. Basically, the article says that you just shouldn't try to login to a secure site in that way anymore.
