Within less than a day of the MS release of the bad update, ZoneAlarm 
created a software update the closes the gaps that the MS update 
covered so that you can use the latest version ZA with your usual settings.

You have to un-install that pesky MS fix but the new ZA version now 
covers those bases. Whenever MS finally fixes the mess they made, 
then you can install the fixed update (or its replacement).
