ZoneAlarm Pro Privacy Settings break Microsoft Update

There is an issue with the latest update to ZoneAlarm Pro. I have posted
this to a ZoneAlarm user forum:

----------------------------------------------

ZoneAlarm Pro version:6.0.631.003
TrueVector version:6.0.631.003
Driver version:6.0.631.003
Anti-spyware engine version:4.0.9.7
Anti-spyware signature DAT file version:01.200508.111
Windows XP Home

If I set any privacy options, this prevents Microsoft Update from working.
Instead it fails with error number 0x80072F76.

Note that it doesn't matter what combination of privacy options is selected
(cookie control, ad blocking, mobile code control). If ANYTHING is set to
"block", Microsoft Update will fail.

There are also [other issues - snipped]
