auto download of fucking microsoft fucking XP windows fix (KB951748), my firewall (ZA pro) won't let fuck all through. Had to turn the fucker off to find out what the problem was. Work round is turn firewall down to medium, or deinstall hot fix, or put your DNS servers in your trusted zone. FUCK OFF.
I'm getting unix - fucking had it with fucking microsoft.
*** rant ends ***

so don't worry if you get blocked after downloading this just take the fucker out

Ah, that's why I've had random problems after an update today. Worked out it was a case of moving the setting down to medium but hadn't investigated why.

Zonealarm is getting more resource hungry and creating too many conflicts. I'm going to ditch it from my pc soon - in fact my pc has so many BSOD recently I'm just going to reformat the bastard and be done with it.

I turn my about-updates off as it often cocks everything up.

Ubuntu's fucking shite. PclinuxOS is the one you want if you're a newbie. It's hardware detection is superior to Ubuntus.

Zonealarm's got worse ever since it was taken over by some company called Check Point. I had the same problem yesterday, downloaded the new security patch and then. bang no internet access. Wasn't happy about either removing the patch or downgrading the firewall, so have manually set the ports I need. Seems to be working ok so far

New update from Zonealarm, be warned though it then runs scanningprocess.exe which will take up 99%cpu for quite some time
