Zone Alarms "True Vector Engine"
Hi Everyone!
I've been getting problems again with the "True Vector Engine" and the computer rebooted.
Last time I had big problem with my system I think it was because of "True Vector Engine" which I've been informed is ZoneAlarms. What does this do? Could I turn it of and still use ZoneAlarm? Also I found something in "msconfig" and "Services" called "True Vector Internet Monitor" which also is Zonelabs. Can someone tell me what this is?
Since I use Windows XP Professionall I know it has a "built in" firewall, which I have disabled as I'm using ZA pro. I've heard something about the XP firewall not stopping outgoing traffic. Which one is best the XP firewall or ZAs? I've been thinking about removing ZA but since I have cable my computer is almost all the time connected to the internet, and I want a safe firewall. What to do???
Thanks in advance

- Problems with the ZA True Vector Engine, ( which is the core of ZA ) indicate you might have a corrupt installation. Restart your system in Safe Mode, Uninstall Zone Alarm, Search All Files for any remnants, specifying Zone Labs & Zone Alarm, delete those, run 2 defragments of hard drive, then reinstall it. That should solve your problem.

This happened after disabling Win XP's own firewall when the system "hang" for a moment. After that the system seemed normal for a few minutes and while I was surfing it suddenly rebooted. Hasn't happened after that. Hopes it doesn't. Thanks again!
