After updating the Microsoft July Security bulletins for my Win XP SP3 dell inspiron 1520 laptop my Zonealarm firewall (professional ver.) will not allow internet connection.  Turning off Zonealarm allows connection.  What could have microsoft included in this security update to cause issues.  Note:  Windows Firewall is turned off.

Hi George,

If you will move the ZA settings to Medium, you should be able to connect. ZA will release a fix very soon.  There's workaround for other edition of ZA.
