ZoneAlarm users found an unpleasant surprise this week when they installed the latest Microsoft Security Updates. If you use ZoneAlarm and installed the Microsoft Security Update KB951748, then you may have found that you are now having issues connecting to the internet. This is caused by a conflict between Zone Alarm and changes made by the Microsoft Update.This issue is only affecting ZoneAlarm users who have their security level set to High. Some sites are recommending that you change your security level to Medium in order to resolve this issue. We do not think that is the correct answer as you are putting your computer at risk by lowering the security level. Instead, if you are using ZoneAlarm and are having these problems you should use the guide below to resolve your issue.
