ZA update does not find a new version either. All that says on that ZA page is to lower your Internet security. I have free ZA version 7.0.470.000, supposedly the most recent. I use Firefox. It does not offer a security "slider". In any case its rather silly to reduce your internet security so that your MS "security" update won't prevent use of a browser. So far my only success has been with uninstalling the security update. But I understand its an important update. I run W2000 pro / Firefox 3. So does this mean the options are, do without an important security update, or reduce your security to an unacceptable (to me and many others) level so that the update won't shut down browsing, but due to the lowered security, browsing will now be less secure? This is nuts. MartyB in KC

But if you use something else, just click the version you have and download it. http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/1025_zl/zlsSetup_70_483_000_en.exe It works great for me. I loaded the KB patch and screwed my system, loaded the new ZA that had been downloaded before the KB update. And bingo all is well, ZA and MS working together.

Obviously nobody believes me that there was no link to an update on the ZA page, so I cut and pasted the entire page and posted it in another thread here on the same subject. You'll see that there is no link for the 483 update. I'm gonna give it a try with the link you provided..... thanks. MartyB in KC

I am using Windows Firewall and AVG anti-virus. All the responses I have read have been like the only ones that are having a problem with internet connection after the updates are the ones running Zonelabs products. My fix was to do a system restore back to before the updates and marked them not to install again. I'm going to leave it that way until Microsoft comes up with a fix for their fix.

Guest Unknown Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Re: FIX for ZoneAlarm & KB951748 issue released Pa Bear obviously didn't read your post. Zone Alarm update will be useless to you. Are you sure you are configured to use WINDOWS firewall?

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Re: FIX for ZoneAlarm & KB951748 issue released No, sorry. It's been a very long week... Then again, you did post in a thread about ZoneAlarm and KB951748 instead of beginning your own thread. What's your Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) and IE version, Phyllis? What other updates did you install this week besides KB951748? -- ~PA Bear Phyllis wrote: > So this fix works even if you are not running Zone Alarms? > > "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABearMVP@gmail.com> wrote in message > news:ezKj7394IHA.4988@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> ZA's had the fix for several days now: >> >> Resolution [was Workaround] for Sudden Loss of Internet Access Problem >> (revised multiple times since release on 08 July 2008) >> http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/pressReleases/2008/LossOfInternetAccessIssue.html >> >> NB: Do NOT use Option #2 if at all possible!

Guest flpat4747 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 RE: FIX for ZoneAlarm & KB951748 issue released Hi Folks, Help please. Have picked this question only because it is recent and I hope then people will see my call for help. I would like to pose a question but everytime I try to use new it doesn't work; it turns red and the drop down list appears. I chose question but after that nothing happens. I'm trapped. Help I put this message in one other place in the hopes someone would see it.
