Re: File Validation Problem - Zonealarm & XP

I'm having a strange and persistent problem with Zonealarm's (the free one) file validation on XP pro SP2 (On startup, ZA checks some of its files to be sure they haven't been tampered with.) On cold boots, I get a "validation failed for programs.zap" (programs.zap is a ZA file) message. On a restart, there is no message and ZA loads OK. Things I've done: Numerous virus scans with Norton and 3 different online scans (all negative). Completely removed and did a clean install of ZA. Imported new root certificates. Turned off all other non-essential startup items using msconfig. Still get the error on a cold boot, but not on a restart.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.



You might want to post to one of the Zone Alarm forums.
