Ok have just tried the free version of zonealarm and have never had as many problems with a piece of software before!!

first of all as soon as instalation finished - it crashed computer
then i rebooted - but because was set to run on start-up computer crashed as soon as loaded

went in under safemode - uninstalled zonealarm and rebooted again
this time computer booted fine so went to go online - adsl established computer but every time i tried to use a browser etc couldn't get through

though maybe drivers for modem got buggered uninstalled & reinstalled them - nope no dice

it appears even tho i had uninstalled zonealarm it was still blocking all ports (as hadn't been configured before crashed)
so had to reinstall zonealarm
then go in under safe-mode so i could run it without it freezing computer
turned off all protection - uninstalled zonealarm - rebooted and now running fine

such a ****ing handling

anyone else had problems with it??

/me goes back to outpost
