Problem with KB951748 XP Update


Recommended Posts

I, too, could not get on the net after the KB951748 update. I encourage

Microsoft to do a search on the update so they could see how many hits there

are already, and to take this update off of the critical list. T

hankfully, I do not allow XP to automatically download and install updates.

Otherwise, I might have not been able to find the source of the problem so

quickly.

I'm having the same problem with Windows 2k.

Same here. The uodates caused ZoneAlarm to block internet access. I

uninstalled the updates via Add/Remove programs, rebooted, and was boot on.

 

MS needs to patch these updates to not destroy ZoneAlarm Pro.

On one computer with Comodo Firewall KB951748 installed and internet

connection was fine. On another computer with Zone Alarm free KB 951748

caused internet connection to be lost.

 

As Zone Alarm is a very widely used firewall I think this board and

Microsoft will have a very busy time over the next few days to come up with

a fix.

Same problem here. Had to do a System Restore and then install updates

one-by-one to determine problem child. KB951748 stopped me from getting

online. Major problem. Microsoft better fix it.

I too installed the updates and lost internet connectivity. I finally

narrowed the problem down to the updates. I used system restore and installed

each download individually. I found KB951748 to be the one causing my

problem. I was able to reconnect as soon as I uninstalled it via add/remove

programs. This should be looked into as I have never before had problems with

my automatic updates.

Both of my machines, one SP2 and one SP3, had problems with Zonealarm and

this update. Uninstalled the update and connectivity was back.....for now.

ZA is not worth having, uninstall it! Use the in-build f/w version in

conjunction with SecinfigXP.

After downloading and installing the three updates available as of 07/08/08 I

found that I could no longer access the internet. My wireless connection was

perfect, I even used the Microsoft Diagnostic Tool, and it said that there

was an issue with my router or my ISP. I did System Restore, which fixed the

problem, went onto Microsoft.com and did the 3 updates one at a time untill i

discovered that Security Update for Windows XP (KB951748) was the issue.

Microsoft, please fix this update.

That's not a very nice attitude PA Bear. The problem is caused by the Windows

Update not ZoneAlarm. The update seems to stuff up Zonealarm's High Security

setting. It seem's that if you change the setting to medium, your internet

works again.

 

As Bob posted on the ZoneAlarm forum : "medium's action seems to be "allow

unless you block" whereas High is the other way around". Your suggestion of

"fix your ZA installation" is rather dull.

 

MS needs to fix its KB951748 update.

Yes, the Security Update for Windows XP KB951748 will have to be uninstalled

if you have installed it already.

Uh-uh, third-party applications need to work with Windows, not the other way

around. Sorry.

 

KB951748 changes the way DNS works: ZA's gotta accommodate this change.

Perhaps if Microsoft designed its operating systems with better security in

the first place then the poor sods who buy and use this operating system

might not have to fork out more money to third party companies for software

to plug its holes! Your high and mighty attitude, PA Bear, serves only to

reinforce my perception that Microsoft is less genuinely interested in

customer satisfaction than it is in ripping more money out of them and

wasting their time trying to fix the damned thing up. Get a reality check -

and some humanity, while you're at it.

Same problem here. I removed both KB951748 and KB951978 !

 

Zonealarm details are:

TrueVector version:7.0.473.000

Driver version:7.0.473.00

 

I hope that a fix will come soon.

Here's a novel idea: How's about cooperating with all the third party

Microsoft operating system fixers (that is, the many that provide solutions

to the operating system's inadequacies) beforehand so that people like myself

don't have to spend hours sorting out a problem after blindly trusting and

automatically installing Microsoft's updates. Your flippant attitude forgets

end-user choice from paying customers that choose to pay for third party

fixing software to plug the operating system's holes. Simply shutting off my

internet connection as you did with this update shows complete disregard not

of Zonealarm, but of ME!!! I DON'T APPRECIATE IT. And I further don't

appreciate your comment about fixing the Zonealarm installation when I am

trying to find a solution from all manner of places. If I was your boss I

would give you a good dressing down for your behaviour, but then perhaps your

behaviour is indicative of Microsoft's organisational culture.

Unfortunately, you have no idea what you're talking about. A fully patched

MSFT OS (NT) with the in-build f/w provides an impressively better security

without employing *any* 3rd party software f/w apps.

Mate, do yourself a favour and research this subject further (and please

don't read/believe all the hype created by the makers of "Illusion Ware").

PA bear is right! It's up to the 3rd party software manufacturer to ensure

that their product is coded correctly!

The user is being ripped off by the sheer arrogance and (inexcusable)

ignorance by the makers of 3rd party software.

In this particular case, humanity has nothing to do with reality! Alas noyo

too many can handle the truth :)

Had the same problem - KB951748 stopped internet access.

 

Uninstalling KB951748 using Win XPs add/remove programs worked for me.

 

I'm not much interested in lowering my firewall security settings for an

update that apparently wasn't given a "real world" trial.

 

The glitch in this update does needs a bit of fixing.

 

me:

Windows XP SP3

Zone Alarm Firewall
