Here's a novel idea: How's about cooperating with all the third party
Microsoft operating system fixers (that is, the many that provide solutions
to the operating system's inadequacies) beforehand so that people like myself
don't have to spend hours sorting out a problem after blindly trusting and
automatically installing Microsoft's updates. Your flippant attitude forgets
end-user choice from paying customers that choose to pay for third party
fixing software to plug the operating system's holes. Simply shutting off my
internet connection as you did with this update shows complete disregard not
of Zonealarm, but of ME!!! I DON'T APPRECIATE IT. And I further don't
appreciate your comment about fixing the Zonealarm installation when I am
trying to find a solution from all manner of places. If I was your boss I
would give you a good dressing down for your behaviour, but then perhaps your
behaviour is indicative of Microsoft's organisational culture.

around. Sorry.
KB951748 changes the way DNS works: ZA's gotta accommodate this change.

That's not a very nice attitude PA Bear. The problem is caused by the
Windows Update not ZoneAlarm. The update seems to stuff up Zonealarm's
High
Security setting. It seem's that if you change the setting to medium, your
internet works again.
As Bob posted on the ZoneAlarm forum : "medium's action seems to be "allow
unless you block" whereas High is the other way around". Your suggestion
of
"fix your ZA installation" is rather dull.
MS needs to fix its KB951748 update.

After downloading and installing the three updates available as of
07/08/08
I found that I could no longer access the internet. My wireless
connection
was perfect, I even used the Microsoft Diagnostic Tool, and it said that
there was an issue with my router or my ISP. I did System Restore,
which
fixed the problem, went onto Microsoft.com and did the 3 updates one at
a
time untill i discovered that Security Update for Windows XP (KB951748)
was
the issue. Microsoft, please fix this update.

I, too, could not get on the net after the KB951748 update. I
encourage
Microsoft to do a search on the update so they could see how many hits
there are already, and to take this update off of the critical list. T
hankfully, I do not allow XP to automatically download and install
updates.
Otherwise, I might have not been able to find the source of the problem
so
quickly.
