Zone Alarm update

I just downloaded the latest update for ZA, but now whenever I start up my computer, it wants to connect to the internet (lockup.zonelabs.com or something like that).
Anyone know how I can stop this?

I'm not entirely sure, but it sounds like an auto-update feature. Look around the software for an auto-update feature and turn it off. If you can't find it, remove it using add/remove programs in the control panel. Reinstall it and during the installation it may ask about an auto-update feature. Turn it off and it should stop trying to connect.

I've turned 'Check for updates' to 'manually' but it still comes up.

I always seem to have problems when I upgrade ZA

In ZA Pro,open it.click on Overview-Preferences and you can choose either auto or manual update...Same thing in the free version.....

I have ZA Pro on one computer and the free version on two others,all 3 set to auto update,and Ive never seen what you describe....It tells me that updates are available and doesnt attempt to connect unless I click on update..

I just installed ZA pro, but don't have any problem like that.
Are u receive that message when your pc boots or when you start zonealarm?
If case one is correct, then check your "start up" by : Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | System information | tools | system configuration utility | Start up ( win 98 )
Then uncheck everything related to zonealarm. I hope this will help.

Cheers

Sorry I am such a slow typer and that I had to talk to my wife in the midst of my reply,but the post by djhuk came up during the several minutes I took to make my post....

Well, the internet dialogue comes up at startup, but ZA loads at startup so im not sure.

I'll have to try starting up without ZA and see what happens.
