Hi,

Whenever I start any programs on my Windows XP Professional I get the
following error message:

The box is "Run As" with the following message"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Which user account do you want to use to run this program?

Current User...
Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity.

This option can prevent computer viruses from harming your computer or
personal data, but selecting it might cause the program to function
improperly.


The following user:
User name:
Password:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

This message box appears with all the applications, programs, documents or
properties that I try to access. The only way to access programs is to
uncheck the "Protect my computer......." and then click on the OK button.
But, this occurred after I installed the Zone Alarm updates but I have
uninstalled the same.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
David Harvard
