There's no new version of ZA on that page. ZA update does not find a new
version either. All that says on that ZA page is to lower your Internet
security. I have free ZA version 7.0.470.000, supposedly the most recent.

I use Firefox. It does not offer a security "slider". In any case its rather
silly to reduce your internet security so that your MS "security" update
won't prevent use of a browser. So far my only success has been with
uninstalling the security update. But I understand its an important update.
I run W2000 pro / Firefox 3.

So does this mean the options are, do without an important security update,
or reduce your security to an unacceptable (to me and many others) level so
that the update won't shut down browsing, but due to the lowered security,
browsing will now be less secure?

This is nuts.

There is! Just look in "recommended actions", This is the link to the
free version. But if you use something else, just click the version
you have and download it.

http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/1025_zl/zlsSetup_70_483_000_en.exe
It works great for me. I loaded the KB patch and screwed my system,
loaded the new ZA that had been downloaded before the KB update. And
bingo all is well, ZA and MS working together.

Sorry, but there ARE links to the latest Version on that page. All of
the links to the various products go to V. 70.483.000.
Here's the links:
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite

ZoneAlarm Pro

ZoneAlarm Basic Firewall
http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/1025_zl/zlsSetup_70_483_000_en.exe

Frankly speaking, uninstalling ZA and obtaining a firewall that will
protect the system and not cause updating issues is possible:

Thanks for that link, I will check it out. Obviously nobody believes me that
there was no link to an update on the ZA page, so I cut and pasted the
entire page and posted it in another thread here on the same subject. You'll
see that there is no link for the 483 update. I'm gonna give it a try with
the link you provided..... thanks.

OK, I just refreshed the page and now its there. But you can see from the
cut and paste it wasn't there, at least not for a while. The "date last
revised" on that page has not changed, July 9. I may be crazy but I ain't
stupid, when everyone said it was there I tried that page several times, and
have never navigated to it before today, so it was not in my cache.

There's something scwewy awound hea...

That page has been revised at least four (4) times since it was first
published on 08 July 2008.

After installing the latest updates I was having internet connection
problems with both my cable and wireless router on a computer that does not
have Zone Alarms installed. I am using Windows Firewall and AVG anti-virus.
All the responses I have read have been like the only ones that are having a
problem with internet connection after the updates are the ones running
Zonelabs products. My fix was to do a system restore back to before the
updates and marked them not to install again. I'm going to leave it that
way until Microsoft comes up with a fix for their fix.

ZA's had the fix for several days now:

Resolution [was Workaround] for Sudden Loss of Internet Access Problem
(revised multiple times since release on 08 July 2008)
http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/pressReleases/2008/LossOfInternetAccessIssue.html
