Guest Pdigmking Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 The latest winsdows update for XP severvic pack two hosed my system. I installed it, and when I re-booted I could no longer connect to any internet services even though I was connected to my ISP, the browser would just time out. No similar problem with my laptop that had not yet been updated. I uninstalled the service pack, and then could not get into windows all. I had to run a system restore from the C prompt in safe mode to get my computer back. Paul.

There have been reports of a conflict with ZA and the update and it seems the fix is to lower ZA's security. -- Regards, Yokenny Change is inevitable except from a vending machine.
Guest Bob I Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Re: latest updates hoses system If you had Zone Alarm installed, that causes problems. Please see the other entries about that here.

I'm not going to lower my firewall security just to make an MS update work. I probably don't need the update in the first place. When do you suppose a patch for this update will be available? What puzzles me is why when I uninstalled the update, my system crashed, did uninstall it improperly? I went to the update, opened the folder, and clicked on the unistall. I'm running comodo on my laptop, anyone having problems with that firewall after the update? Paul.

As I understand the issue, ZA noted the size of certain files necessary for internet connections. The MS update changed some of these files. Now ZA presumes there's been a malicious infiltration of some sort and prevents these (new) files from executing. A clever, but obviously flawed, detection mechanism.

I've just installed the new relevant ZoneAlarm version 7.0.483.000, and the outstanding MIcrosoft updates. Everything seems to be working ok so far. Thanks to ZoneAlarm for their swift action.
