I've just switched to XP Firewall for now. I'll go back when ZA gets a

You can adjust the ZA slider to "medium" and it will work with KB951748

FYI,

If you use Zone Alarm for your firewall on XP, don't let windows
download their latest updates - particularly: KB951748

I let windows update last night and went to bed, this morning zone
alarm was blocking all internet access.

I had to shut it down and activate XP's firewall.
