#3 yeah, I uninstalled the KB951748 update. I'd rather have my ZA firewall at high, and don't want to switch to Comodo. I expect ZA, and not MS, will fix this. WTG MS! Good testing!

#4 ed and FrankG: You might consider going for a different firewall. A few years ago, ZoneAlarm was purchased by the Israeli company Check Point.

"Check Point's development centers are located in Israel and in Belarus. They also have offices in Redwood City, California and in the Dallas, Texas area."

#6 Dump the software firewall.

Hardware Firewall FTW.

#7 Frank, you can download a fixed version of ZA from their website. It works with the MS fix. I also use a HW firewall for internet stuff but keep ZA for any wireless networks.

#8 I do have Comodo installed on one machine but is harder to use and monitor.

#9 yep, thx. I also have all of my wireless, including the gaming bridge for the XBOX in the living room secure encrypted. Not only is it good security, it keeps neighbors from piggybacking on your wireless-N signal

#10 I am a bit upset that I have not seen patches on NetGear for their home router firmware.
