Im running XP2 sp2 with Avast antivirus and ZoneAlarm firewall..Got a message
that i should update ZA-firewall. After the update, Spybot Search&destroy
cant update and ZA icon dissapears after restart. security center shows that
the firewall is working but the activityicon is gone.. Can somebody tell me
whats wrong??

The latest ZA version branch (6.5.XXX) has a very poor reputation for bugs and
many people on the ZA forums are reporting problems with them. The
accepted solution is to uninstall the buggy version (untick 'Load ZoneAlarm at
startup' & reboot first) and reinstall the last known clean version which is
v6.1.744.001 which can be obtained here:

Oh, and turn off updates until they have their act sorted out.
