    Zone Alarms users cannot access Internet after Windows Updates!

    Microsoft's latest security update, KB951748, a DNS security update, is incompatible with Zone Alarm on many systems.

    Do NOT install KB951748 at this time!

    If you have installed the patches, see Check Point's ZoneAlarm Security Advisory, Workaround to Sudden Loss of Internet Access Problem.

    I let windows install this for me today not knowing this & it works. No loss of internet connection. I have zone alarm pro (version 7.0.470.000) and XP SP3. Perhaps this pertains only to the free version?

    No, it affects all versions (ZoneAlarm Free, ZoneAlarm Pro, ZoneAlarm AntiVirus, ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware, and ZoneAlarm Security Suite) just not all users.

    That said, Checkpoint has fixed the bug and has issued 7.0.483.000. I recommend all ZA users upgrade immediately.
