I have ZoneAlarm Pro version 2.6.632 and whenever i right-click the icon in the system tray and click shutdown ZoneAlarm the computer restarts. This only seems to happen when I'm connected to the internet. Any ideas?

This is probably a stupid question, but have you checked for BugBear?

Thats known to interfere with several Antivirus/firewall products.

Sounds like a problem with the TrueVector service. I'd remove and reinstall ZA to see if the problem is solved. But an anti-virus scan is always a good idea.. I'd do that first.

Possible to trade in zone alarm for something else?

i have not personally used it, but it is the firewall software i read about the most people having problems with it seems.

<--- personally uses Norton (last 3 years) - basic, and does the job well

ye Zonealarm is a pain in the a.. when playing games over the internet. Almost all my games crashed after playing on the internet. I then switched Zonealarm for Norton Personal firewall and i havent had any problems since.
