Windows Update EVERYONE READ!

[Anorexia_Nervosa]

Ok guys (and gals ) I was playing in donner tonight and in vent when windows said it would update in 5 minutes if I chose not to reboot myself. So I let it update and reboot. When it comes back up, I cannot get on the internet. My line to the router is still in, nothing has changed at ALL. Nothing. SoI rebooted a few more times, did the DNS flush repair and all that jazz...NOTHING. Then I decided to remove the update myself. When it rebooted, I had internet back.

SO, if you have trouble with this, go to control panel>add/remove programs>click "show updates">Scroll to the bottom> click on the 2 july updates>uninstall>reboot


DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING ELSE. Just the July updates.

If you use ZONE ALARM, do not install the new Microsoft Windows Updates for July 9th. They will cause Zone Alarm NOT to recognize the access requests and they will cimply block them like bad traffic.


DO NOT UPDATE WINDOWS YET IF YOU USE ZONE ALARM.

What will happen on July 9th?

I got the updates yesterday. No Zone Alarm, no problem. I stopped using Zone Alarm after too many such incidents.

I just downloaded it but it seems to be working fine to me

No problems on my machine either. you might have just gotten a bad download or something. . . . ?

Zone alarm is the problem.

Zone Alarm is not a good choice of firewall, I suggest Comodo

zone alarm sucks. I have more problems with friends machines that load this kind of crap thinking its helping when all it does is cause them endless amounts of headache.

Had the same problem with my sons computer running ZoneAlarm. After the update he could not access the Internet. Uninstalled the update and it came back. ZoneAlarm + windows update = no internet. thanks for the suggestion Shoe, I'll check out that comodo program.

I haven't used virus/spyware protection in 2 years and i have never had a problem. Ofcourse I only go to certain sites. I'm lucky I guess.

 

[OfficerFriendly]

Yeah why the heck does anyone use ZoneAlarm?

 

[J_landry]

I used to run zonealarm and McAfee, imagine that......... *cringes*

You are a sitting duck, sorry to say.

I would bet you have some infection of some type and don't know it.

I dound an AV program called avast! it was free and it worked pretty good. My comp was slowing down real bad and was just acting stupid but it works pretty good now.

NOD32 is the best anti virus program out there, it even stopped a trojan daed in its tracks.

Define stopped... any anti-virus can stop a trojan if it is aware that it exists.

I downloaded a song off of limewre and it wouldn't play and then a little bubble popped up saying that it had found and destroyed a trojan downloader.
