The patch that MS provided, KB951748 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951748), to remove the vulnerability in DNS, yesterday is not available from AutoPatcher. What plans are there to provide this? I keep on top of my security personally, so I'm already patched, but most people who rely entirely upon AutoPatcher are going to be open for attack. Two whole days without the patch and counting. . .

It might be worth noting that you should pop-up a message if ZoneAlarm is detected on their computer warning them that there is an incompatibility in ZoneAlarm and that the solution is to set ZA to medium or uninstall it and use a different firewall product.

Actually, its three-and-a-half years if you count the time that Microsoft took to issue the patch!

Since you posted palisade, ZoneAlarm have issued a new version and AutoPatcher for XP has already been updated.
