XP SP2 & IE6 problems with ZoneAlarm.

[~ FreeSpirit ~]

I took someone's advice on one of these MS NGS and removed ZoneAlarm 5 from
my PC/w WXP-homeSP2 and the IE problems ceased. I did have the XP firewall
disabled since I liked ZoneAlarm better. This seems to be a known problem
with WXP SP2 & ZoneAlarm5.

BTW, these are the anti-scumware programs we have on this PC. None of them
found anything - Some just innoculate against infestations.

Spybot
Adware
Norton AV & WinDr.
StartupInspector
SpywareBlaster
BHODeamon
CodeStuffStarter
HijackThis
CWShredder
ZoneAlarm <--- removed.

No one can say we're not "trying" to keep this PC secure.

Make sure the WinXP firewall is turned back on.

Yes, I did that as soon as I rebooted after uninstalling ZA5. ;-)
