Re: MS update KB951748 and ZoneAlarm --- PROBLEM said by FiOS Dan:said by Welsh Chris :
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.
Chris
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.

kudos:1 | 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.
