Hi all, I am also having problems after installing the above update. I see it has been said," That’s not something coming from windows update. There is nothing called that in the update catalogue." From Eddie Bowers Security Support Microsoft Corporation. However, I've rung Microsoft New Zealand and they confirm that it is a Microsoft update and it has issues with Zone Alarm. They say that, they and Zone Alarm are working towards a fix. I have restored my system, not in safe mode, to just before the above update took place and immobilised Windows automatic up date until this problem is fixed. Hope this helps. |

Are you talking about KB951748? This is a security update which Zone Alarm chokes on - ZA have released a fixed version, by the way - but it isn't called "Software Distribution Service 3.0". Where did you see this string appear?

Thanks Harry
I do have Zone Alarm and I too have disabled updates until I hear of a fix.

I believe I generated this question. It was my first ever post and it is kind of freaky to see it disappear - why is that?

It's already been fixed. Go to Zone Alarm's web site to get the latest version or update. (The Microsoft update itself does not need to be fixed; the fault was in Zone Alarm.)

News servers don't usually keep newsgroup posts forever. How long ago was this? You may still be able to find it in Google Groups, which keeps archives.

Sorry Harry, haven't been back to forum until now. Actually, I posted message same day, 10th July.
No matter, it seems the big boys sorted themselves out and I can now happily continue to recieve automatic updates.
Thanks for the interest tho.
Regards
