Hi guys. Thanks for all your help in the past, I hope you can help me again.

I like many other internet users love to download using bit torrents.

However latley whenever I try to download, there is no problem, untill......I leave my P.C on over night.

If I leave my internet unattended and downloading, it causes alot of problems.

My Zone alarm shuts itself down, which it never does when I am at my p.c.

A couple of times itt happened, the first times, I awoke to a bunch of problems on my P.C. Latley it doesnt happen so much, but that is generally because I dont leave my computer downloading when Im not present.

I left it alone again last night but the same thing happened. I woke up and there was a microsoft warning on my desktop, and zone alarm was off. No problems but I wanted to talk to someone about it because it is putting me off downloading.

My Zonealarm is the free version

Greetings.

What was that Microsoft warning?

To be honest, I cant remember. I knew I should have written it down, but I didnt.

I might have to wait untill it happens again.

If I try to have a stab at it, I think it was something to do with the words "true" and I think "vector", and the phrase " has encountered a problem, and needs to close". The Zone Alarm stops working, and when I maximise it, it says "system error please reboot" in the top right hand side of the box.

I shut Zonealarm down and restarted it and it worked fine, no problems there, but it is a problem if I am not at my computer to restart it when it is on overnight.

It could be that the ZA install is corrupt, you could be being hacked, or you could have some nastys on your pc.

Have you already tried reinstalling ZA? And are you also using the latest version?

If you follow the instructions in the 'Prework' link below in my sig, and post the logs when done, then we'll have a look at those.

Sheepskin: have you solved this problem?
