Watch out if/when you install the new kb891711 critical
update on Windows 98Se and are a ZoneAlarm user.

This update installs a new process KB891711.exe
that runs from (every) start-up.(yuk!)

([HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices])

When the ZoneAlarm UI loads on my system it
causes a lockup.

(Haven't tried this with the latest ZA yet, but
I wouldn't be surprised if it conflicts with other
software too)

I don't think this is specific to Zonealarm. I installed that updated
and Zone works fine on mine. I'm using the free version tho, don't
know if it means anything. Maybe the pro version has issues with that
Windows patch.
