I deleted my zonealarm, and then downloaded the latest zonealarm. Well, now when I go to reboot my pc, it brings up the box, and I click ok. It makes the sound like it is going to reboot. (So far so good.) But then, another box comes up and says something like: vsmon has caused an illegal operation When I click ok to THAT box, most of the time it just hangs and does not reboot, or if it does reboot, it does not fully reboot and I have to cold boot to get it to go to windows... I don't think once it has let me reboot and it actually worked! I tried searching online for info about this, but they all mentioned it could happen if you have this or that, and I don't have those things. Today I deleted zonealarm, but reinstalled it using the same download as I had before, and I have the same problem. Help! Re-Na Hanson / Arkansas USa --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
