I am having same problem, i think.
I amhaving firewall problems. I am running EZ Antivirus and previously had
Zone Alarm installed. They were conflicting so I got rid of ZA {I thought}
That was a month ago. Now my machine cant remember logon passwords or email
errors coming up. I checked and in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZoneLabs has a folder
with subfiles in it.
I cant delete the folder or any of the subfiles either.
Any Ideas
