All part of the service <G>.

Although a long thread it was interesting to see how Zone Alarm actually
causes System Restore problems. I have read Bert Kinney references
previously but not got involved with resolving the issue before. I am
surprised we do not see more problems of this sort. I suppose many users
rely on Acronis True Image for backups. In this situation they can turn
off System Restore and use Zone Alarm without the problems you have
experienced.

Gerry...thanks for reminding me to check that. In the past, any time
I turned Zone Alarm off, ZA would automatically switch the built-in
firewall back on. But by un-installing ZA, that feature went with
it, so..... I forgot to turn it back on until you just reminded me.
Thanks again!

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. :-)
