Zone Alarm won't start... Anyone else had this problem?
 

I don't know if I got some nasty trojan or if somebody hacked me -- but I can't start fucking Zone Alarm...

format c: ?

Well this sucks, but I just want to know if anyone else has had this problem. I'm probably just going to reinstall zonealarm.

sorry to hear that - but I've never heard that some website disabled programs on the computer.

sure you didn't get some sort of other vicious virus ?

Ok you read my previous post before I edited it -- I thought that someone had installed an ARS popup on my machine, but that was just me being over paranoid -- I have Opera set up to remember my window settings from the last time I browsed and there must have been some ARS shit on there...

But yeah, I've heard of viruses de-activating virus software -- so if my ZoneAlarm stops working I get a little worried.

Hmm, just reinstall it and see if it does it again.


Does anything happen when you try to run the program ?

:thumbsup

Yeah I get a little tiny window that says "Zonealarm is trying to init TrueVector internet monitor -- Cancel?" -- then the window closes almost immediately.

TheFLY, what OS you running? Wow, I've had this problem for close to a year now w/ Win 98... Trying to reboot and reboot just to get ZA to load, it's been a pain in the ass. It did seem to work fine after re-installing it a few times but I still have that problem a few times per week. Attempts to "cancel" the True Vector loading window just gives me the blue screen.

I think during the boot-up sequence my PC tries to load another program at the same time, or it tries to load ZA before another program, I dunno....

I haven't got any answers but I'm right there with ya, my fix has been to leave my PC on 24-7.

ZoneLabs hasn't shed any light on this issue either.

..bump..

anyone else have this problem?

sometimes it wont start if you install another full version on top of a full version, instead of using the upgrade. Uninstall the entire program and try again.
