ZoneAlarm Pro Incompatibility

Installed latest security patches for Windows 2000 SP4. Following
installation, all Internet access is disabled. Shutting down ZoneAlarm Pro
enables Internet Access.

Check with Zone alarm, if this is a problem with the updates there will be
many others with the same issues.
Check your settings for Zone alarm and verify you have the latest version.
Consider reinstalling Zone Alarm.

Comments from Garry about ZA

<snip>
I run ZoneAlarmPro and, normally, when a site is blocked by ZA in some way,
ZA raises a Privacy Alert. However, in this case, the various trusted
Microsoft sites involved in the current Windows Update system did NOT raise a
privacy alert that ZA was inhibiting ActiveX or Scripts from running (my
default). When I enabled these 2 code items in ZA for the sites
- download.windowupdate.com (NOTE the 's' missing from 'windowsupdate' -
don't ask me why) and for - support.microsoft.com,
Windows Update started to behave more normally (without any error), although
WU now wants to download a new Update system.

The fact that I was not warned ZA was blocking code from the WU sites is
probably a fault in ZoneAlarm, perhaps related to Trusted sites. Other
Privacy alerts were displaying at the time for microsoft sites, but not code
Privacy alerts. I will report it to ZoneLabs.
