Microsoft DNS Patch Grounds ZoneAlarm Users

The Windows XP update SP3 released 7/9/08 is incompatible with Zone Alarm firewall. You will not be able to get on the Internet after the patch is installed. It took me hours to figure out why I could not access the Internet today. If you're reading this you probably don't have this problem. If you have another computer or a friend who can not access the Internet here's a work around from PC MAG.

this very thing happened to me this morning - I was convinced the problem was with my shitty BT homehub.
 
So that's what all the updates were lately on my machine. Luckily I don't have that type of firewall. Good lookin' out YMIHERE, I'll be sure to check that link if any of my friends are having problems.
