Re: MS update KB951748 and ZoneAlarm --- PROBLEM
said by FiOS Dan  :Thanks for the heads up winchester73. This is very troubling as I run ZAF on all three of my rigs. Can anyone else confirm this experience and, if so, have you discovered any other workarounds? It's happened to me, today my computer has twice installed this update and broken my internet connection both times. I'll go and look for a zone alarm update now. If ZA hasn't been updated to correct this yet, I guess it soon will be, then I can let Windows update install KB951748.

I have a tab open at the ZA Forum and I will monitor it all day for the update notification in the promised "General Announcements" section. Stay tuned.

Having read more posts on this I guess I'll be safe enough behind my router's firewall if I set ZA to medium. "Shields Up" has always shown my network as invisible to probes. |

That may change with ZA set to medium. Give it a try and see if you are still invisible.

Yonkers, NY | Unless someone is forwarding ports(etc), the router will still block unsolicited inbound packets. |

Yes...I feel the same way, I uninstalled KB951748 and will keep my current ZA installed until I find out what happens here later with updates, new versions, etc...  |

Odessa, FL | I was hit with this problem this morning after I applied the 2 MS updates. Glad I found this thread. I've uninstalled both MS updates until they (MS or ZA) come up with a fix. |

Edit: By the way, are you behind a router?

Thanks. That finally occurred to me hence the additional question in my edited post.
