HI,

Actually a few weeks ago, I had a problem with scan disk, it kept running
everytime I strted the computer up and I had to uninstall my newest version
of zone alarm to fix this, I remember it now.  I have no problem now.  I was
trying to run scan disk and defrag I think and had just installed the new
version on zone alarm.
