MS KB951748 breaks ZoneAlarm

rockfordWindows update KB951748 should not be installed. It will break your Internet connection. If you have it already installed, uninstalling it fixes the problem.

I have spent the day troubleshooting over 20 PCs and have found all installations to have the install date of 9 July 2008, which in my part of the world is tomorrow. I think that as of tomorrow it should work. If not then MS broke something again, but we are used to that.

How to fix it?  Go to Start> Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs.  Make sure to put the tick mark in the "Show updates" box in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.  Scroll down to the Windows Updates and look for (KB951748), highlight it and press remove.  You will need to immediately do a reboot and when your machine has restarted your Internet connection will function again!

With that info,

 

Safe Surfing!
