Avenger Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 If you haven't done yet, don't install kb951748 (or uninstall zonealarm, or lower its security settings to medium). Current zonealarm and the abovementioned windows security update will kill all your tcp connections (in other words: breaks your internet tubes). Link to comment
Zamael Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yeah, noticed. Uninstalled. Works again. Sucks, tho. Hope they'll fix it. Link to comment
Cal Jones Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Blimey. Well I was using Zone Alarm until just over a week ago when my HD had to be reformatted due to a spyware cock up. My IT guy sent it back with AVG installed instead. Just as well, I guess. Every cloud, and all that. Link to comment
Miloch Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 My IT guy sent it back with AVG installed instead.Two different things. One's a personal firewall, the other antivirus software. You need the firewall far more than the AV. I've been running with Sunbelt Free Firewall and ClamWin AV for a while without any issues. ZoneAlarm and the free AVs (and even the paid ones) got a bit too boggy for me some time ago. Link to comment
Taimon Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The DNS security update seems to be quite critical. (All major parties involved decided to play nicely together, which is extremely rare.) Link to comment
Shaitan Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 The DNS security update seems to be quite critical. (All major parties involved decided to play nicely together, which is extremely rare.) So does this mean that a future update would grant me permission to use the high security on ZoneAlarm again? Link to comment
Taimon Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Depends on what a future update would look like. (And I'm unfamiliar with how ZoneAlarm works, so I can't give you any advice.) Link to comment
