I've tried downloading ZoneAlarm again with the same results. Can soneone help, PLEASE!!!! Thanks, Rommel

It has been updating to new versions for years and still has the same BS True Vector things going on and messes stuff up when people update it.

It's a great program, you just have to learn how to use it.

Guest USGrant Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Re: True Vector (TV) I've been using the trial version for several days and like it a lot but, am very perplexed about present situation. Found 4 entries in registry of vsmon.exe; removed them but that didn't help. Other ideas?

Guest sgopus Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Re: True Vector (TV) Go to the zA folder and delete it. also there are a list of files that ZA installs in the system 32 folder that also need to be deleted, the uninstall program doesn't remove these files. one that I did, is in stll a VERY old version like 2 I don't remember the exact version but before version 4. then you can try the upgrade to the newest version. You will need to go to the ZA site and get a list of all the files that ZA installs in the system 32 folder "USGrant" wrote: > I've been using the trial version for several days and like it a lot but, am > very perplexed about present situation. > > Found 4 entries in registry of vsmon.exe; removed them but that didn't help. > > Other ideas? > > Bob > > > > "WaIIy" wrote: > > > On Sat, 25 Aug 2007 22:58:12 -0700, astroncer@yahoo.com wrote: > > > > > > > >USGrant wrote: > > >> I installed ZoneAlarm (trial) then had to uninstall it.

Have a look in Services (Start | Run, type in "services.msc" without the quotes, <OK>) for TrueVector Internet Monitor. When you have ZA installed it is set to Automatic. If it's running, stop it and disable it, then try your System Restore again. I'm wondering if perhaps you didn't shut down ZA before you uninstalled it? That might explain why your uninstall seems not to have got rid of everything. ZA does protect itself, by design, and if you try to shut it down will pop up an alert in your system tray to check that it really is what you intend and not some nasty trying to infect your system :-) -- Nightowl
Guest USGrant Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: True Vector (TV) Thanks to everyone. Nightowl, I will keep that in mind for future use. I was, after many many tries, able to reinstall the trial version. I broke down and selected the two choices to receive their email sales promotions!!!
