Curse you, Microsoft!

You just made me waste an hour of my day trying to figure out why my internet went down. And I even blamed my kittens! I want an apology. Or fresh baked goods.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ANYONE RUNNING WINDOWS XP AND ZONEALARM:

Installing the latest Windows XP update will break your internet connection!

DO NOT install Update # KB951748

If you did install it, then you probably can't read this right now, but here's the fix:

Change your Internet Security settings in ZoneAlarm from High to Medium

-or-

Uninstall Windows XP Update KB951748. Go to Add/Remove Programs, and click the "show updates" box at the top.

ZoneAlarm (and XP users everywhere) are currently up in arms about this. Here's hoping at least a few of you catch this warning before installing updates.
