I don't know of a hardware issue that would target Zonealarm. Try IEFIX (use google.com) to see if the OS is OK as well as removing any and all SPYWARE. If that's clean, report your issue to the Zonealarm's maker at zonelabs.

Assistance please, I am trying to update my Zonealarm but every time I run the install the system restarts without installing. The log report sent to MS says there is a driver problem, but I cannot find which driver is causing the problem.
System is ;-
Gigabyte GA K8N, GeForce FX5200, AMD Athlon 64 2800+, 512Mb RAM, Western digital WD800JB HDD & NEC 2500 DVD r/w running XP with SP2 installed.
Have checked every driver on system and all have MS signature.
I am being driven mad by this and would appreciate any help offered
