The last security update to cause ZoneAlarm issues is:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956803

The one before the above was this one in July
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=951748

Yes, you remove updates one at a time via the add/remove programs applet in
the control panel. When you open the add/remove programs applet, make sure
the box at the top to show updates is checked. Once that is done, look for
the above two below Windows XP.

Note: You may wish to check with ZoneAlarm to see if they have an updated
version that is compatible with the above. Once you have ZA updated, I
would reapply the MS Updates.
