Re: MS update KB951748 and ZoneAlarm --- PROBLEM

The problem is with Zone Alarm. They are aware of the issue, and are working on it:
»forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/boar···id=52785
For ZA Free, there are two possible fixes: uninstall KB951748, or reset your internet security level to Medium in ZA. Neither is ideal. Uninstalling the update is preferable, but only just.
For those using ZA Pro, here's a suggested solution. IDK if it works, since I'm running ZA Free, but it's worth a try:

For the rest of us, you can always try Comodo Firewall instead:

Comodo is not tweaking over the expanded range of ports this update appears to implement.
For those folks suggesting you drop ZA and all other 3rd-party firewalls and rely on the Windows firewall, I suggest *you* go right ahead. Then call me to fix your computer when you get overrun by malware. Be sure to tell me how proud you are to have ditched those evil 3rd-party firewalls for the Windows Crayola version, so I can charge you extra for stupidity. |
