SpeedyDonkey 0 Posted July 28, 2004 AFAIK Zonealarm has a nasty habit of protecting your pc, even when it's off, in some cases even if it's uninstalled. That's what my Isp told me. And i can confirm that it is the case. Please explain how that's possible. ? Ok this is how it was. First time: I turned ZA off and removed the auto start option. So it was not on in the task manager. I made some updates to the OS and when I got back internet didn't work. I had to start ZA and then the computer regained access to internet. Second time: I uninstalled ZA from my system and installed another OS on top of that. This time i had the same problem. IE could not connect to the internet. This time I called my ISP and they said that they indeed had allot of problems with ZoneAlarm being naughty for their users (obviously mainly from inexperienced users) they guided me in manually removing some files and something in the registry if I recall things correctly. I’ve had this locking up experience when I hit the multiplayer option in flashpoint, with several software firewalls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
