| 168784 | 2003-08-19 23:48:00 | Just wondering if the free version of Zone Alarm contains spyware? The reason I ask is because a friends PC was running a bit slow but was working. So I ran the latest AdAware and ref file and removed heaps of spyware. But now whenever you try to run a program nothing actually happens until you exit Zone Alarm, then the program will start. Could AdAware have removed some spyware that Zone Alarm needs to work correctly? Why would it stop other programs from running? |

Uninstall, then re-install Zonealarm. (Run Ad-aware and you will find all is clear still.) | Pheonix (280) | ||
