Move Firewall/Internet Zone Security slider to 'medium' level to regain access, then download the patched version of ZoneAlarm.
Although if your access is broken by the MS patch I'm not sure how you're going to read this!

When I ran several computers, I ran one on Norton's, one on Zone alarm and another on McAfee.

Out of the three, I had the most problem with Norton's, so stop using it.

I made sure when I made a purchase and downloaded, I would put the download on a drive different from the location where it was going.

That way, I always had a backup (along with DVD burns) that wasn't on the computer running the software.
