Windows 7 Blue Screens

Hey guys, long time no speak! Just wanted to share an experience in case it helped anyone else. I installed Windows 7 the week it came out (yeah, I know - IDIOT! Wait for SP1!) and it sure as heck kicked the hell out of Vista. It seems Windows gets every other OS right. Anyway, after a couple months I suddenly started getting blue screens several times a day. I spent a couple weeks searching high and low to find out that it was actually the latest update to Zone Alarm that caused it. Killed ZA and suddenly all is well...

Well, almost. Firefox started locking up the computer completely, but that seems okay since I updated to 3.6. Growing pains...

Anyway, if anyone else is getting killed by inexplicable blue screens, it may be ZA (assuming you use it).

</PSA>
