With Zone Alarm swtched off (?) is the Windows Firewall working?

Gerry, I think parts of Zone Alarm are still running, because there
is an annoying process running in the background continually called
"ScanningProcess.exe". For the most part it is pretty quiet, but
every minute or more it pops in to action and takes up a minimal
amount of CPU resources, but none the less it's active... it's not
really sleeping. What's even more annoying is that there is another
process called vsmon.exe that also pops in and out of action on a
regular basis... along with ScanningProcess. And lo and behold.... I
discovered that both of these processes are a part of ZoneAlarm's
fire wall.
I'm not very computer savvy, but I'd sure like to know why these
annoyances are running in the background when I have ZoneAlarm turned
off. When I switch it off, I expect it to be OFF.

I'm pretty certain you guys have helped me zero in on the culprit. If
so, then the original question I posted has been answered. Honestly, I
wouldn't have possibly have figured this without your
guidance. Detectives you should be. lol

I'll uninstall Zone Alarm and give you the results in a couple of
days. It's going to be good news, I'm quite certain.

Thanks again for your determination.

That thought had crossed my mind. Autoruns might reveal part of Zone
Alarm still running.

In the past few days, ever since ZoneAlarm was turned off, System
Restore seems to be working properly, except for one issue.

"Turning off" ZA may not be enough (there's a chance that part of it
is still running without your knowledge). I would uninstall it to
detemine once and for all if it's responsible.

I'm not sure you need ZA anyway. :-)
