I  have a  Dell Dimension 8400 using Win. XP Home.... and I also have been  
using Zone Alarm  free firewall, and Avast free Anti-virus.   While ago, 
Windows 
informed me I  had some updates to download (the  above).  I did that, but 
when  
I tried to get online, I couldn't  get on.  I looked in my firewall and  
things had been changed  about in there, and I don't know what is supposed to 
be  
checked and  which is not. So I changed it back, it still didn't work, so I   
called the phone company and they told me to disengage my firewall .... I  
did  and 
it worked.  So something in the firewall prevented me  from getting  online. 
I 
had every thing checked so it could do that,  but it has to be Win  downloads 
and not my firewall.

So, I  did  a system restore to remove the downloads which now works.  Does  
any one  know what Microsoft did in those three downloads to make  those  
downloads not work.  And why does  my Firewall  get  different settings when 
I never 
touch it.  Is there a  better firewall  or at least one that is easier to 
work 
with than  Zone Alarm which is  free.

What I  also want to know if how  can I get past those three updates and make 
it work  with my  firewall?     Harriet
