Many update applications now inherit their connection settings from Internet Explorer. Make sure "Use Proxy Server" is turned off in IE in Options in the Connections tab. .. JDH

Perhaps it has something to do with zone alarm ?

Possibly. In my experience, firewalls generally allow internet traffic initiated by the computer, but it is worth checking.
