Thank you so much for this bit of information. I did as you instructed and
downloaded an update from Zone Alarm, but I still had to move that 'high'
setting down to 'medium.' If not, then I couldn't get online. So I thought by
uninstalling that 'hot fix' (#KB951748) would fix it for me, (so I could
keep my setting on HIGH) I did that, but before it finished uninstalling, it
said if I uninstalled that fix, then I would lose the ability of KB951978 from
working. I don't know why MS doesn't know how these affect certain firewalls,
if not all of them. Possibly Gates left at the right time!! Harriet

Hello Harriet;
I believe this addresses the issue you are dealing with;
