If you dig in you'll find it is recommended to either:

Enter your present free ZA Program Control and change it to Medium from High.

Uninstall your present free ZA then install the latest ZA then install the KB951748

Well I had ZA version 7.0.370 and installed the "new fix" version 7.0.483 and went in the

program Control to configure it to High. NOOPE!!!!!!!! Can't do it!!! It's now set to

Medium by default and is High no longer an option. Have to get ZA Pro for high.

THAT'S the ZA fix.

How teddibly teddibly clebah.

So which do you want? Program Control High or KB951748?

Wow, isn't that a revolting development, as someone used to say. Thanks for the heads up.

New Zone Alarm Version out to fix problem
Q
Comments (7)
when you get the updated version for zone alarm you no longer have to keep it at medium you go back to high, moving the slider to medium was/ is only for those that have not updated their zone alarm to the latest updated fixed version. I use an old version of zone alarm pro the old versions were not affected. You will see on the page I linked to from zone alarm in the center it says recommended actions: Recommended Actions - Download and install the latest versions which solve the loss of internet access problem here (English only): then there are the links to the new versions of zone alarm you select the one that you have be it za free basic firewall or za suite. The other options listed below that are only for if you did not do this step. This is the version number you want to have it is the latest updated one. 7.0.483.000 ONLY get these from the zone alarm site to make sure you are getting the fixed version or by going into your zone alarm program and hitting the update button it will get the update for you.

Unable to install Java Update...Help please.

Sapphires, go ahead and update your ZA as the update has the fix for the problem encountered with the MS update. Then reboot. Hopefully, when you attempt the Java update, ZA will ask if you want it allowed. Check for it to be allowed and for ZA to remember this setting. That should take care of the problem for you.

MS update KB951748 and ZoneAlarm --- PROBLEM
Q
Comments (52)
unfortunately it is extremely important so some way some how we will all have to do this. Here are articles to help you get an understanding on this DNS vulnerbility which the patch is for. The DNS converts the words you type in the address bar into a numerical address thatÂs used to route all Internet traffic. Exploiting an error like that would make phishing scams simple Â people would think they were at their bank website and happily type in personal details, which the criminals could then harvest. Internet flaw could let hackers take over the Web Deficiencies in the DNS protocol Major DNS flaw could disrupt the Internet this is the site where you can find the DNS checker to have it run on your pc and see what it says about your system and how vulnerable it is. DNS Checker For those that are needing to completely remove ZA from their system many people are reporting using this program to get a clean full uninstall, it is a free uninstall program which works well to remove many programs that can tend to be hard to remove. I personally have not used it but several people on the tech sites are recommending it. Revo Uninstaller Zone Alarm also has detailed instructions on their site on how to do a clean uninstall should you need it.

That is not the case for most users, have you done the registration? did you try a reboot? here is the evidence that the new versions can be moved to high. this is the free
{{gwi:1482110}}

This is a post from dslr from a user that had his show no high option also and what his experience was
"I continued playing with this and wanted to update folks based on this. I downloaded revo uninstaller to help me remove ZA. As I was playing with ZA, I noticed that I now had high security set in ZA! What?!! Where before it would not let me change the setting from medium to high (it displayed a message saying this was only available in ZA Pro) now it was automatically set to High! I looked at the version info to be sure ZA did not somehow give me a PRO version. Still shows free version, but now I can set it to HIGH security. I don't know what changed, except perhaps the "registration" took place between these two settings. I agreed to register this free version, and all I can think of is sometime after I installed/rebooted/ran it, the registration completed and ZA now allows me to set the security to high. This is really odd behavior. Right now i am running ver. 7.0.483.00 and it is now letting me run stealth mode (I think!). I am going to do some tests to see that stealth mode is actually enabled. Will post an update if I find that is not the case. Sorry if I caused a ruckus, but I have never seen any FW do something like this. Has anyone else see this particular issue?"

so it does go to high.

this is the suite on high

I'm using the free version of ZA. When I applied the MS fix, I lost internet connectivity until I set ZA to medium. When I downloaded th enew version of ZA and installed it (telling it to keep my current settings), I then went in and set it to high.

From my OP -"Enter your present free ZA Program Control and change it to Medium from High."

The example you show is for Firewall. I am referring to Program Control.

My Firewall is also set to High as the example.

OOPS! didn't write that quite right - sorry about that - skip the first sentence; It shoulda been just this:

The example you show is for Firewall. I am referring to Program Control.

My Firewall is also set to High as the example.

As far as I recall, these are the settings I have always had in ZA. Firewall High for Internet, Medium for Trusted Zones, and Medium for Program Control. So I don't think ZA has changed anything as far as the controls with the new version.

Thank you as usual Raven. Rebooted and it's showing High. Installed the dreaded MS update and all seems well - so far.
Thanks for that post from the other user. I wasn't prompted to reboot nor would I have until tonight.

Problem I have is my ZA settings were erased. Therefore, I am holding off on my other computers. I don't have the time to spend with this at work this week.
