View 3 RepliesI am working on my friend's computer which is running Windows XP Home edition on a Compaq Predario computer with 512 MB ram and 160 GB hard drive and AMD Athlon 2.16 GHz CPU. I was trying to install Zone Alarm but get the message that I don't have permission to use the Add/Remove Windows Components. I need to log on as administrator but don't know how. My friend has three user accounts (Mom, Kelsey and ******** Account). None of them use passwords so I doubt if any administrator account has one but I can't figure out how to log on as administrator. I tried accessing the .exe file in Windows Explorer but when I did I got the message: C:DOCUME~1MOM~1YOULOCALS~1TempVSINIT.dll. You probably are missing a necessary root certificate.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been using Zone Alarm's firewall for several months now without a hitch. I turn on my computer today and get a Windows Security Alert notifying me that no firewall is detected even though it seems to be on. Is it something wrong with Windows or Zone Alarm? And how can I tell if Zone Alarm is actually in this case functioning?

i have used Zone Alarm almost since they have started. Unfortunatly they have been bought by Check Point an Israeli Company. If you get a notice to update say no. They have added what I call a VIRUS OF THE WORST KIND!!! It says your computer has an error and won't let you get on the INTERNET! I have tried everything. Reformatting my disk, reinstalling windows and leaving Zone Alarm out and it still comes back. I have tried almost evey ANTIVIrus on the Internet plus almost every Spyware. I righclicked on it and Notepad came up and said that it has intwined itself in Bellsouth DSL Software so I can't get to the Internet. I reinstalled Bellsouth and for a short time I can get to the Internet like now. BE very careful. Bellsouth has a security suite that allows me to get to the Internet, But I can't go to more than one site and I have to Reboot. It also fouled up my Printer even with the Bellsouth Security Suite and I had to remove my printer and Rinstall it. CAUTION!!! I also deleted it out of the Registry and it came back!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI suppose I became bored(or stupid) but I decided to give Windows Live One Care a try. I like the idea that it has a two way firewall.I've tried Zone Alarm, but it's just too much trouble! Any opinions on this? I haven't read anything on this forum one way or the other. It has a 90 day free trial, so if I don't like it I can always reinstall my Avast,which I was having NO trouble with.

View 14 Replies View RelatedThough not being a computer professional or expert, wish to state that for many years I have been using ZoneAlarm Free version as my Firewall software. Recently tested the Kerio software and realized Kerio better in appearance, presentation, uncomplicated etc. and the best is the easiness in creating rules. In Kerio you could create Firewall rules straight away from the connection prompt. I am using the free version of Kerio.With best regards, Brother Brock.

She also says that it interrupts Outlook Express from time to time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using windows xp- keep getting window that states Zonealarm has detected a problem with your installation and has restricted interent access from your machine for your protection, then it gives me steps to follow which I can't because zonealarm does not show up on all programs, it also gives me a # to call to get running again. I have interent access and I have Xoftspy upgrade. I checked my firewall and I see zonealarm is now listed and it was never there before. Is this serious or is someone trying to get my money.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've always used ZoneAlarm as my Firewall but I was just now questioning the necessity of it when my OS already provides me with a (FW). XP Prof Would the integrated FW suffice or is there really an adv to having Zone alarm? related question: If my goal was to gain on resources would getting a router eliminate completely my need for a FW?
Thus maybe freeing-up resources?
I've just downloaded the trial version of Zonealarm security suite from its official website. But after I restarted my computer, the program didn't seem to work, even when I manually clicked on it. I wanted to uninstall it, but an error message shows up that says "TrueVector Service has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." How do I uninstall ZoneAlarm now?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWindows XP, recently updated, ZoneAlarm, Firefox recently updated, IE6. WebSweeper runs in the background, Windows Firewall is on, I have a router and a modem router.I've reinstalled ZA from scratch before, and of course have run numerous updates, and have never had a problem, until now.This started with some visitors. I created a 'visitors' limited account, and put it in just the 'guest' group. A teenager has had use of the computer. Now, she's mature for her age (14) and her computer use was monitored, so I don't think she did anything intentionally, if she did anything at all.Problem started when one of the adults had the system freeze on her, twice. Once with IE, the other with Firefox. Both times Firefox was up with whatever the teenager had up (beebo?), another window or tab with something else the adult was doing, and msn.com - hotmail - was reported to me as "hotmail froze".

when i updated my Zone Alarm firewall, I uninstalled it cos I was getting severe problems with the computer completely hanging, after uninstalling and reboot chkdsk ran and on the first 5% or so of checking the index it found problems then ran thru chkdsk pretty fast until fixing unreadable security description datastreams. windows works absolutely fine no problems whatsoever, then next time i reboot it does the same, this time problems are non-stop until about 10% then fine from there on in, then when it finishes repairing the drive it gets stuck at repairing unreadable security descriptions date stream , says unable to read and boots straight into windows, again windows works fine except a little hanging.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn january of this year, I bought zone labs, zone alarm pro, after using free zone alarm for over 1 year. It ran flawlessly until the 1st of August,2005.After the latest update,(from zone labs) I received an error message (every time I logged on to the internet)that IE 6.0 was encountering errors and would have to close.Then the program would not close due to its inability to respond. I had to use task manager to close it, and that did not always work. The next error message came on right after that and stated that True vector had shut down; as soon as that message displayed another came up asking if I would like to restart True Vector. I clicked 'yes' on this and thereafter my ISP's connection (earthlink) completly froze up. Task manager again used to log off of earthlink. I googled True vector, and found that it was something included in zone alarm pro. They said the problem had been fixed, but I do not think so.After using 'add remove programs' to rid myself of zone alarm pro,and editing my registry to the best of my ability, everything returned to normal: ISP loaded normally and ran correctly. Zone labs will not deal with my problem, (would not even allow me to contact them unless I used their expensive phone support).So, as of now, my system is up and running wonderfully, without zone alarm pro; but I do not feel that winxp, service pak 2's firewall is adequate. What to do?
