Most people got this problem about a week ago when Microsoft released their update.

It has been discussed on here at least three times in the last week. Here:

Zonealarm have now issued an up-date, to solve this problem. I have installed this and put my Zonealarm internet slider from medium back to full.

In the process of installing the up-date it asked me if I wanted to switch on the MS firewall, i pressed OK will this affect anything?

so seemed worth repeating.

git
yes it will ... make sure that the MS firewall is OFF
