Re: MS update KB951748 and ZoneAlarm --- PROBLEM
said by htfan808  :Hi, so it looks like the only way to install MS update KB951748 with Zonealarm is to upgrade to the newest version, 7.0.483.000...unless you're using 4.5.538.001. Do I have that right? Thanks! Not quite. It appears ZoneAlarm from versions 6.5.x and higher are affected. I run 6.1.744.001 and I have not had any problems... |

Not sure what the other issues are some of you are facing; but if you've followed the proceedure:
- move internet security slider on ZA to medium.
- download & install the latest version of ZA
- move slider back
OR
- remove the Windows update in control panel (add & remove programs)
- download & install the latest version of ZA
- restore the windows update
the problem will go away. Any other problems are unlikely to be related.
I performed a mix of the above two steps on my XP PCs with ZAF. Worked flawlessly. |

I can confirm this fact. I used to have ZA Pro 6.5.737 and after the update it would only work on med. Just updated to the latest ZAP and all is working well. Knocking on wood.  |

Upgraded ZAF and installed the M$ update on my test PC and all seems fine. Strange though, after selecting to download the update it appears to have installed on its own without any prompt beforehand. Also did not prompt for a restart. Lastly, I can not see the HotFix in the Add/Remove list but Windows Update no longer shows it as a recommended DL so it should be installed.

I have a similar problem, but different in the part where I uninstalled zonelab but there were still some entries in register. I tried installing free version and uninstalling but still same problem. Is there something else that needs to be cleaned up? |

Since you said you installed and uninstalled ZAF after uninstalling ZAP, this is a long shot, but I'll mention it anyway: If ZAP isn't uninstalled correctly, or something goes wrong with the uninstall, it can leave bits of itself on the hard drive and in the Windows startup entries.
Check your running processes for vsmon [the TrueVector Internet Monitor, part of ZA]. If it's there, disable it using msconfig. |

To have a "clean" ZoneAlarm uninstall, you need to uncheck the start with Windows box in ZoneAlarm, reboot and then go to Start, Run and type
C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zauninst.exe /clean
(There is a space between the exe and the forward slash)
This has always worked very well for me... |
