If I can't opt out of the toolbar, I won't install it.

.
I understand that sometimes it's the principal of the thing, but you could also just disable the toolbar afterward if you can't opt out.

So installed the new version after taking comodo off. And when i restart my computer it locked up every time i tried to log in idk if uninstalling comodo did this or Zone Alarm Install haha but ya I had to do a restore back a day.

looks like there's still comodo trace or lefties. But since you did system restore already

I would say it was caused by ZA.

hi !

Thanks, Corrine. I still may give it a try. I can always restore from my Macrium image if it creates problems. That beats having to go through the uninstall routine.

another way to test it:
clone your existing W7-partition with fx. Macrium to a new partition.
now you have a test-system to test ZA or other programs on.
add the new partition to the bootmanager and reboot.

then if ZA or some other program mess up the O/S then you don´t have to do anything,
except reboot to get the old system back again.

i´m going to set up such a test-system myself...

Ya It was za i tried it a second time. The 2nd time the installation froze idk why maybe its not for 64 bit ?

System Requirements for ZoneAlarm Free Firewall:

Microsoft® Windows® 7*:

• 32-bit / 64-bit , 2 GB RAM
• 2 GHz or faster processor
• 100MB of available hard-disk space

perhaps there is a problem with 64-bit ?
i´m going to test ZA after i have cloned W7 to a new partition.
i have a P4 with 1.8GHz CPU so it´s 32-bit.
