Error 0x80072EE2 & ZoneAlarm

Just a note to say that I received this error until I changed my ZoneAlarm
settings from High (Stealth Mode) to Medium.

After downloading and installing I was able to change them back.

Stealth mode whether in Zone Alarm or any other firewall or security program will most likely cause a glitch because it hides some critical info, like the User Agent field of your browser.

In Zone Alarm (and similar in other products) add the following websites in the Trusted sites (or white list):
windowsupdate.microsoft.com
update.microsoft.com

Question: I have recently updated Zone Alarm. When I went to do a windows
update I keep on getting "Administrators Only". Could this also have
something to do with the stealth settings in Zone Alarm?
