bloody windas

[den]

Some Windows update or other has decided I don't want to run Zone Alarm firewall and want the XP firewall instead. Zone Alarm autostart was disabled, so I thought "Oh! I'll just uninstall/reinstall ZA and it'll be fine.' NO! Uninstall went fine, but now the installer can't find the truevector service installed components. I can't install Zone Alarm and I am now stuck with an almost non-configurable firewall that doesn't tell me ANYTHING apart from the fact that it's working. I can't trust a firewall like that.

Your subject line and the spelling of it immediately conjured up in my mind a scene from Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs, which involves some bloodiness involved with a broken window and a hand under a window sill.

Try this:

It's free, easy to configure and it will let you what goes in and out on your computer.

Perhaps there is an update to Zone Alarm to resolve this conflict?

But Windows knows best! You don't need to use that competing product... trust in Gates, because Microsoft only releases the very finest, most bug free products!
