Alright, I downloaded Zonealarm yesterday.

Ever since then, when using firefox, it will work for 40 minutes to over an hour, and then nothing else will load. Stuff will stop working. Since I figured this had something to do with Zonealarm, I turned it off, but that isn't helping.

Everything else on the computer regarding the internet works fine, Guild Wars, AIM, ect. I tried IE, and even that works after a few tries.

But after I close firefox, it will not open up again, and gives me the message that firefox is already open. The only way to fix this is to restart the computer. Which suddenly takes absolutely forever. This is a brand new computer, which I've not had any trouble with before, logging out/in usually takes just a few seconds, but now I'll have to wait several minutes before It will actually log out.

And it gives me the same message when I've logged back in. At which point I turn the computer off without logging out, and when it starts up again it will work fine.

...For another 40 minutes.

Help? Is this Zonealarm's fault or something else? And if so, how the hell do I get rid of it?

 

I hope the problem with logging out isn't permanent?

Thanks though, I'll do that then.

Any idea why it does this?

 

Iztiak: Had the same problem about a week ago, The new Zonealarm is a piece of shit, Remove it and get COMODO. Should fix it, did for me.
