Note: Make SURE you Save the file to your hard drive, rather than running it
from its current location.

Note: Be sure to install from an account with Administrative privileges, if
your OS supports them.

Please do the following. If any of the steps below do not apply to you, or
you are unable to perform the function listed, please continue to the next
step.


1. Open the ZoneAlarm Pro program, go to the OVERVIEW >> PREFERENCES tab,
and make sure the "Load ZoneAlarm Pro At Startup" box is UNchecked.

2. REBOOT.

3. You should now have no ZoneAlarm Pro processes running on your system.

4. Now run Start, Programs, Zone Labs, and Uninstall. Click "Yes" at the
prompt for the security check from the Zone Labs security engine (You MUST
allow this service to shut down in order to remove files).

WARNING - Do NOT run the ZoneAlarm Uninstall program while in Safe Mode. The
program may not be able to make the proper registry changes in Safe Mode,
thus generating errors after a reboot.

5. REBOOT.

6. To make sure that you can see ALL the ZoneAlarm Pro system files, if they
are still on your computer:

a. Right-click on My Computer, then left-click on Explore. When the Windows
Explorer panel appears:
- In Windows 95,98,and NT: Click View>Options (in Windows 98, this will be
called "Folder Options"). Click the "View" tab, then click the "Show all
files" radio button.
- In Windows ME, 2000, and XP: Click Tools>Folder Options. Click the "View"
tab, then click the "Show hidden files and folders" radio button.
b. Click OK.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Making modifications to system files may disable crucial
functions of your Windows operating system. We strongly suggest re-enabling
the "Hide files and folders" feature once all ZoneAlarm Pro files have been
removed.

7. Click on Start, then Search or Find, and select Files. Make sure that the
location box is set to search your local hard drive (usually C or All
Local Drives.

Type the following exactly - including any spaces. Delete any FOLDERS found:


zonelabs
“zone labs”
“Internet logs”

Note: Your alerts log -- ZALogs.txt will be stored in the Internet Logs
Folder. If for any reason you wish to save your alerts log, simply copy this
file to another safe location on your hard drive.

Type the following exactly - delete any of the following files found in
C:\Windows, C:\WINNT, or any subfolder below those, or in any \Temp folders
ONLY:

vsdata.dll
vsdata95.vxd
vsdatant.vxd
vsmonapi.dll
vsnetutils.dll
vspubapi.dll
vsutil.dll (NOTE: Do NOT remove this file from any McAfee folders)
zllictbl.dat
zlparser.dll

Type the following exactly - delete any files found in any folder with
"Programs" in the pathname):

zapro
zonealarm
“zonealarm pro”

8. Make sure your Recycle Bin is empty (right-click and select Empty).

9. REBOOT

Now you should be able to install the latest version. Double-click on the
file you downloaded. The installation program will guide you through the
setup process. (Note that all registration fields require at least 1
character, even if only a space for company, and "@" for email address). Be
sure NOT TO choose "Upgrade", as this can cause further difficulties if the
database is corrupt.

as a consumer would you want a utlity to update you have to do this every single darn time tell me is it fair.

when i actualy go out of my way to buy software i expect it to work perty well i dont expect that every time i want to update i have to do the albolve=0

why havnt they made a cleaner for this im a newby i dont want to go playing in the registry i might relly screw stuff up i mean look at my spelling would you want me re modfieing your registry of course not so why would i want to do it to my computer.

its insanity i tell you true insanity i wish galvin owned zap then you know that stupit stuff like this wouldnt happen.

why is it that galvin an independent software maker when his software does something bad he fixs it the next day or the same day and he or some one fixs your problem or answer qustion with a solution so fast.

but zap who is a big company with partners all over the place has a problem for 4 or more months and there answer to it is the crap albolve.

how can this be.

why is tds so much better then zap i tell you why cause the maker cares about his software and people.

zap ideal is lets give them a huge list of stuff to do it will buy us time where the donuts=)

 

Take a stress pill, Blaze. The uninstall's a pain but it's the same for all of us, and it really isn't so difficult.

 

Yo Blaze do following:
1. save file : zap_clean.txt attached w/this msg to an empty folder eg. C:\Tem1 and rename it to zap_clean.reg
Hit F5 on keyboard then rightclick this *.reg file choose/leftclick Merge from menu and ok out of any question/dialog window.

2. Try deleting C:_Restore directory which in Windows ME may not be allowing you to delete certain files of ZAP. You need to boot with a Windows 98SE bootdisk to A;\ prompt and type del C:\_restore or C:~restore If you succeed in this you can then delete C:\windows\Internet logs folder & then do clean install of ZAP after rebooting twice(2 times).

Hey ska, you really should give Dmut credit for the reg file.
He's a mod at Outpost forum and wrote this to help the Outpost users clean up their computers.

 

Yes this text file was provided by DMUT at Agnitum Board and I apologize for any implication in my message that it was created by me or that I was taking credit for his work.

Full credit definitely goes to DMUT & thanks indeed for the
pointer<g>

SKA

 

Hi SKA, thanks. I really didn't think you were trying to take credit for that. Nothing was implied and you were just trying to help. I just thought you might not have thought about giving credit to Dmut, as sometimes those kinds of things just sort of slip by us.
Also its funny you posted that when you did, because as I was reading the thread, I thought about getting that link and posting it.
Dmuts really cool and I think he enjoys getting a little credit for his programming.
Glad you took it in the spirit it was offered.

 

wow 462 views i didnt thhink it get this many intrested people but thx for every ones suport and trying to help me

 

Hi Guys! MRBLAZE, thank you for posting all of those instructions, etc. I'll need them.

Enough said.
