I had terrible trouble accessing the internet and my emails this morning, everything was fine on Tuesday. My PC would connect to the internet but could not
find any pages or access or connect to my email server, after checking settings etc etc etc I remembered the PC had done an automatic restart for the latest
Windows update so I did a system restore before the update. I connected to the internet and email straightaway and after a search discovered the problem was a
conflict with ZoneAlarm and Windows update, I'm not sure if it's just the free firewall from ZoneAlarm that is affected or the paid packages but
it's just something to be aware of. I have NOT disabled my firewall or reduced the firewall settings I have simply not loaded the latest windows update, so
will have to look at a new firewall or should I say hubbie will have to sort it out.

It happened to me on Wednesday morning. I had to go out for the day and on my return the situation was the same. I asked a friend to come over and he got my
emails back for me and told me I had clicked on the wrong section when Zone Alarm had blocked something. I protested inno
 cence. But was told yet again > A computer is only as good as its operator,
Thank goodness you posted ion the subject. IT WASN'T ME!!!! sandra

This happened to me too. After resoring my computer back to pre-update it worked ok.
I have now received an update from zone alarm to prevent the clash and all is working fine and dandy. Sarahx |

This happened to me yesterday. After installing the windows updates I couldn't get online. I did a system restore and waited until today. Of course, the
updates downloaded again but so did an update from Zone Alarm saying it was to cure a problem with the latest Windows update. I installed that first and then
the Windows update and it's fine now. I had to do this on the laptop as well too as I had the same problem with that.
The version of Zone Alarm I have is free for a year with my internet provider but the one one my laptop is an extra key that I bought so I assume they are fixing the problem whether it's a free version or not. Hope this helps. Beryl xx |

Have been off line since Wednesday because of the windows update clashing with firewall but had someone in to get my pc up and running again, had serious
withdrawal symptoms but feeling better now I am back.

At a party last night I was told that one of the servers had 30.000 phone complaints because of this problem Sandra
