Did you read what the Moderator on the Zone Alarm Forum posted ?
Do you understand that Zone Alarm is at fault for not recognizing the
differing file sizes and checksums ?
There is NO issue with the update except on systems with Zone Alarm
installed. Does that tell you anything ?

The fix posted by Old Sod works and does not lower Security, as opposed
to those who recommend setting ZA's security level to Medium are doing.
Read his post and see how the issue is resolved.
End of story.
Next !
