[AccessD] OT: Firewall

Hey Rocky. First I want to give you a disclaimer; I am way behind with
my Email reading, and I haven't scanned this whole thread yet...I had
been thinking of just deleting the whole thread, but checked out the
first few posts on a whim.

On my daughters' PC, I am having a problem with ZA. From what I can
tell, it looks as if something got in and messed up the "signature" or
something. I've tried a reinstall and a fresh install and nothing is
working. This has worked for years now, so it is definitely something
odd that is taking place on mine. I am actually considering a total
format of the PC, because in this case, being my daughters', it is just
for Internet and games, so I can replace everything on it.

I'm going on to read the rest of this post, so I apologize if this was
redundant or way off base.

Take care!

Charlotte:

I tried the clean install but it still messed up. Even went through all

their uninstall stuff.  I'm sure it's something peculiar to that
machine. 
But if I can do a quickie with Sygate that'll be fine, instead of
messing 
around for another hour or two with Zone Alarm.

Regards,

Rocky
