Does anyone know of how to stop ZA losing its settings?
I have the latest upgrade, have tried the fix of deleting BACKUP.rdb and IAMDB.rdb and resetting program allowances. This works for a while then "forgets again".

There are several worms that muck about with the Mutex in Zone Alarm. Limeware was a well known culprit. Check the thread here for more details:

I am advising scan the system with AdAware or one of the other cleaners. Might want to run BOClean against it also.

Zone Alarm, by itself, can't protect against worms.

Sorry for the delay in rating.

I have updated to the latest version, which seems to be quite stable.

Thanks for your response.
