    Microsoft isn't the problem - its Zone Alarms authors writing poor software. If it was Microsofts problem, all third party firewalls would've been broken.

    Conor,
    You obviously did not read my posts on the problems I have had with the internet connection.
    I have NEVER had Zone Alarm installed, but after reading that many people had lost their connection who did use it, and had download the latest windows update and haad nothting but problems. I decided to try uninstalling
    MS update KB951748. Hey presto, immediately my connection was back to normal.
    When man sacrifices the Love of POWER for the Power of Love, there will be peace on earth.
