After installing a Microsoft XP automatic update on August 11, 2006, I now
get a warning that says "This page has an unspecified potential security
flaw. Do you want to continue?" when I try to open zip files with Winzip 8.0.

Any ideas how to stop this? It happens every time. The only way I found so
far is to restore Windows to a date prior to the updates, so that is not
acceptable.

I have no idea how to stop this, but the update in question is
KB921398, if that helps you find a solution.

OK, I have a work around. Add the folder in question to the trusted
sites in IE.

I was having the popup when accessing zips on a network drive, so I
added the ip of that drive.

(The only thing I ever use IE for these days is settings like this that
seem to have an affect beyond IE)
