1115347 2010-07-02 05:38:00 Try this:) www.ehow.com smurf (6545)
1115348 2010-07-02 06:10:00 have done a scan with malewarebytes in safe mode and nothing shoed up but my zonealarm still isnt showing ...(I hate being hopeless)..and thankyou.. jocol (15861)
1115349 2010-07-02 06:11:00 Disable system restore first. It maybe similar to this (www.symantec.com) Speedy Gonzales (78)
1115350 2010-07-02 06:12:00 Try downloading Microsoft Security Essentials, update & scan - turn off zonealarm & system restore.

Malwarebytes ..... http://www.malwarebytes.org/

I think zonealarm might be a bit old and outdated ... MSSE has had some extremely good reviews and you can have a read of the thread on the top of F1 forum page.

Others may have alternatives, but I find Spybot useful as well ... www.safer-networking.org

CCleaner www.piriform.com ...will remove all your temp files and check for registry errors.

Use CCleaner to get rid of the rubbish first ... makes the scans quicker.

1115351 2010-07-02 06:24:00 silly question I know but im going to ask...can I download the most recent version of zonealarm and install over the top of the old one?..or do I have to uninstall the old before the new is installed?...oh and have latest version of ccleaner,malwarebytes avast and superanti spyware...and thankyou all for trying to help me... jocol (15861)
1115352 2010-07-02 06:31:00 If you're running Avast AND Zonealarm ... they may conflict SP8's (9836)
1115353 2010-07-02 06:35:00 well ive had them for a while and only today there has been a problem.. jocol (15861)
1115354 2010-07-02 07:27:00 avast and zone alarm don't conflict. i used to use them for years goodiesguy (15316)
1115355 2010-07-02 10:29:00 If you're running Avast AND Zonealarm ... they may conflict :thumbs: Good advise. You cant have two anti-virus programs on the PC at the same time -- the way they work each will think the other is a virus, and either one or both will end up killing one another.

Have seen it hundreds of times where this has happened, the person thinks the AV is working when in fact its not.

As suggested before by SP8's - MSSE is the better of the free AV's, its even better than Avast (which has slipped quite a bit) Run MSSE in full scan mode.

Rip out Zone alarm, its about as much good as a paper bag in a storm-- go to This site (www.freewaregeeks.com) down the bottom left , download and run the removal tool.

Just today I collected a Persons PC, has ZA in it -- and its VERY obvious it riddled with infections.
