sometime ago i downloaded zone alarms firewall
i have tried to delete it in my comp. but it wont let me
i now believe it is running in the back ground and slowing my comp.down
any ideas as to how i can get rid of it???????

JonnyThunder

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs

Then find the item and uninstall it. If it's installed, it'll show here.

Otherwise, you may want to follow the 'sticky' procedure in this forum to remove spyware, as this may be the cause of your issues

P.s. Forgot to say, if this doesn't work - you can look at disabling the services attached to this program (Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Services). Be careful in here tho - only disable stuff related to Zone Alarm.

Once you have done that, you can also look at 'Run' Entries in the registry.

But try a standard uninstall first and see how that goes, then post back.

Truevector Internet Monitor is part of Zonealarm. Have you tried uninstalling Zonealarm after booting up in Safe Mode?

Some guides to uninstalling ZA:

Another thought - have you tried re-installing ZA and then uninstalling?

espresso

Have you shut down ZA before trying to remove it? (Right click on the ZA icon in the system tray)
