Just in case anyone missed it, here's the link for your friends who have been knocked off the 'net by this. A perfect example of why I turned off automatic updates and wait for the forums to tell me an update is o.k. to install. I've helped a few friends overcome this one because they were knocked off the 'net before they got this email from Zone Alarm.

Well, actually, it took me a few hours (not continuous either) to figure out that the two were interacting badly - I only disabled ZoneAlarm for about 24 hours till the fix from Zone Labs arrived.PoorManQ45 wrote:LOL. 24hours to figure this out.
