Houston, TX | ZoneAlarm Well, I have installed today SP3 and my ZoneAlarm doesn't let me use the Internet anymore. I went for now with Microsoft built-in firewall and disabled ZA.
Now what? | |

Hingham, MA | Re: Iowa town adds Wi-FI service to municipal utility bill Well, do you know if the town even has DSL (or cable) available?
On the other hand, are they now going to have people who don't have computers paying for wireless internet? | |

| Microsoft update kills ZoneAlarm So *that's* what happened!
I got a call last night from my in-laws about how their computer wouldn't get online after my father-in-law updated Firefox. It turned out that ZoneAlarm was set to High. When I set it to Medium, all was well.
However, as I was heading to my in-laws' house, I got a call from my wife's grandmother saying that her computer wouldn't connect. This seemed trickier as ZoneAlarm wasn't in the system tray. Then, I realized that ZoneAlarm's service was loaded, but the tray icon wasn't. So I loaded the GUI for ZoneAlarm and sure enough it was set to High. Setting it to Medium restored her connectivity.
It had been awhile since I used ZoneAlarm, so I couldn't remember off-hand the correct Internet setting and just assumed that some rogue ZoneAlarm update had changed some settings. With the news that a Microsoft Update messed things up, it all makes more sense. Here's hoping that a fix gets released by Microsoft or ZoneAlarm soon.
