    1) Do you have Spybot free version or Spybot +AV? http://www.safer-networking.org/private/
    2) Have you posted the problem at the Zone Alarm forums? https://www.zonealarm.com/forums/forum.php? You could have a firewall issue.
    Not in this particular forum please. See: http://forums.spybot.info/showthread...-Assistance%29
    Best regards,
    Hello tashi -

    Am using Spybot's free version since I already use Clamwin for my AV.

    I haven't posted on ZoneAlarm yet but if you think the mystery will be solved more quickly if both threads are going at once, then I'm open.

    Where do you want to begin, which RootAlyzer entry?

    - Thanks -

    Thanks, just checking to make sure you didn't have two resident AV programs installed as ZoneAlarm 12.0.104.000 includes an anti virus engine.

    The log you posted here shows Zone Alarm, Microsoft and input device entries. Example: http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?68033-Are-these-rootkits

    Before starting a topic in our malware forum it might be best to post at the ZA forums first in case there is a firewall issue that can be resolved there.

    I'll open up a thread on ZoneAlarm's forum with a link back to this one, and see where it goes. Will likely touch base with you again soon !
