Hello,
Thought I would give the latest version of Zone Alarm a try with 7. Got the BSOD. This was version 9.2. Suppose to be compatible with 7. Any one else had this problem? I'm back with Online Armor with no problems. IE wouldn't load and froze. FF and GC worked fine. Glad to hear any thoughts on this. Thanks,
John

I am currently running this on my Win7 x64 machine. I also had a BSOD at install but discovered that Windows update was installing an update at the same time. had to force a restart to clear the update when it got hung trying to complete...followed by the BSOD, re-ran the update (successfully) and now my system seems to be stable with ZA.

probably ZA had some clash with one of your program installed. IMO,you should change using other program to replace ZA. MSE,windows defender or comodo might be usefull :)

and what is the "latest version of Zone Alarm" ?
do you mean the firewall or the antivirus-suite ?
are you using W7 32 or 64-bit ?

Which one ZA or OA? I did notice that MSE was trying to update while installing ZA. Also, ZA does not want to be uninstalled. I uninstalled it and restarted and it was still there. Did it again and it worked. Then I had to allow some cleanup exe. to run and quit nagging me.

Just read in ZA Forum that MSE and ZA don't get along. One person uninstalled MSE and then ZA worked fine. Don't know if I'm willing to do that.
