Yesterday, MS released two security updates, one of which causes the PC to lose internet connection if you are using Zone Alarm Pro. The specific update is KB951748. Once you load it and reboot, then you will lose your internet connection and will not be able to get it back.
Temporary solution until ZoneAlarm comes out with an update: In Zone Alarm, drop the Internet Security from HIGH to MEDIUM. Second, but possibly less secure solution is to delete KB951748. To do this you must (unwisely) turn off your MS updates until a solution is released. Otherwise as soon as you reboot, the update will be loaded on your PC again!
(To delete KB951748, Start/Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs, then click on 'Show Updates'. Find KB951748 and click on 'Remove'.)
Hopefully ZoneAlarm will publish a solution quickly!
