Forcefield isnt the same as ZA is it? Does it inc a firewall?

I wouldnt be surprised if ZA or Forcefield is the cause

1119469 2010-07-18 12:43:00 Looked at the event viewer.
Quite a few entries there.
A couple that stand out are;

Error 16/07/2010 11:06:28 a.m. SharedAccess_NAT 30005 None
Warning 16/07/2010 4:39:23 p.m. WLAN-AutoConfig 4001 None
Error 16/07/2010 4:41:50 p.m. LanguagePackSetup 1001 Language Pack Setup Wizard functionality
Error 17/07/2010 6:55:09 p.m. ResourcePublication 1002 None

This stuff doesn't mean anything to me. Hope you guys know what it is.

1119470 2010-07-18 12:56:00 How many wired and wireless computers are there? That first error, looks like it has something to do with a dhcp conflict with 2 or more ip addresses on your network Speedy Gonzales (78)

I don't know what Forcefield is. Not something I have intentionally downloaded
theother1 (3573)
1119472 2010-07-18 13:15:00 Probably this (www.zonealarm.com 3.1279454983.1279454983.1&__utmb=231410944.3.10.1279454983&__utmc=231410944&__utmx=-&__utmz=231410944.1279454983.1.1.utmcsr=%28direct%2 9|utmccn=%28direct%29|utmcmd=%28none%29&__utmv=-&__utmk=82114133)

I would uninstall it, as it looks like it has a firewall. And its probably conflicting with ZA. If you go to control panel / security under firewall, what does it say here? Zonealarm, forcefield or multiple firewalls?
Speedy Gonzales (78)
1119473 2010-07-18 13:25:00 only one firewall running - Zonealarm. Windows firewall is turned off.
Don't know that I have downloaded forcefield - looks like it costs money. I am a bit averse to buying theirpay for products when thy offer a free one.
Will you look at that ZA now has 2 more entries in programs and features;
Zonealarm
Zonealarm Toolbar (and this one has a F as its icon)
theother1 (3573)
1119474 2010-07-18 13:33:00 Ah the toolbar will be forcefield? Isnt it more than a toolbar? It looks like it gets installed with ZA. What about the pc's there? How many are wired and wireless?? There's something conflicting on your network I think Speedy Gonzales (78)
1119475 2010-07-19 01:07:00 How many wired and wireless computers are there? That first error, looks like it has something to do with a dhcp conflict with 2 or more ip addresses on your network

I only run it wirelessly at home where there is one other computer using wireless plus a printer.
theother1 (3573)
1119476 2010-07-20 00:36:00 OK I have biffed a few things frm startup that I am not using. I removed Zonealarm and have reinstalled it. I still am no closer to knowing what the problem is.
I guess I will wait til it crashes again'.
Just by the by - Firefox leaves part of itself running sometimes and I have to reboot to open FF if I havbe previously closed it down. What is with that?
theother1 (3573)
1119477 2010-07-20 05:53:00 The Forcefield item is crapware installed at the same time as Zonealarm (unless you spot the check box to untick). Accidentally installed this on a recent ZA upgrade on my wife's XP machine and it caused all kinds of grief.

If you can still see Forcefield in a scan, I would recommend uninstalling ZA again and carefully reinstalling it, watching for the checkbox so the toolbar doesn't come back.

EDIT: forums.zonelabs.com

Yeah - you're probably right Speedy - the Windows Firewall plus MSE is about all you need a the moment on a day to day basis....
