Your options to fix this problem are incorrect. The secuity level should not be lowered and the MS update KB951748 should not be uninstalled.
The correct action is to download and install the latest versions which solve the loss of internet access problem here:
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite
ZoneAlarm Pro
ZoneAlarm Antivirus
ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware
ZoneAlarm Basic Firewall:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -

How can I download the latest version if I can't access the net. Is my best option a system restore first?0 -

I don't see why the security level in ZA shouldn't be reduced to medium to allow you to download the update and install it? Why bother uninstalling the update for all of 10 minutes?0
