Zimbra

Many Windows users have reported that their ZD suddenly stopped working after running a Windows Defender update. A fixed was first posted by capill@orionhealth.com here: [SOLVED] Couldn't Access Zimbra Desktop Server

It's also reported that a later defender update fixed the problem. But just in case you have to manually correct it, here is how:

1) Use Notepad to open %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (e.g. c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)

2) make sure you have this line; if not, add it and save the file

Code:

127.0.0.1       localhost

3) Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services->Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop Service->restart (or just reboot your machine if you are not sure how to manually restart a service)
