Is there any kind of error message? Is it only zone alarm that is not working our have you experienced any other problems?

how much ram do you have? What security programs do you have currently installed?

How did you manage to fix it?

Well, I can't say which one is better or worse. All I can say is which one do you prefer better? I only have AVG security toolbar and without the toolbar with my firewall because I don't think two security toolbars are necessary, and therefore I didn't want to have it there.

Well, I'm not sure if you can download that separately.

From this link: http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/cat...antispyware.jsp
It says that: ZoneAlarmŽ Pro 2009
The #1 Firewall PLUS Identity Theft and Anti-Spyware Protection

I guess you have to install ZoneAlarm pro to get the anti-spyware protection. You can get a sperate anti-spyware programs as well. There are many other anti-spyware programs out there that are great as well. Check out one of the pinned topic in this forum that says Antivirus, Antimalware, And Antispyware Resources
