There's no new version of ZA on that page. ZA update does not find a new
version either. All that says on that ZA page is to lower your Internet
security. I have free ZA version 7.0.470.000, supposedly the most recent.
I use Firefox. It does not offer a security "slider". In any case its rather
silly to reduce your internet security so that your MS "security" update
won't prevent use of a browser. So far my only success has been with
uninstalling the security update. But I understand its an important update.
I run W2000 pro / Firefox 3.
So does this mean the options are, do without an important security update,
or reduce your security to an unacceptable (to me and many others) level so
that the update won't shut down browsing, but due to the lowered security,
browsing will now be less secure?
This is nuts.
