Hello,
I have a Acer/Gateway laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. With Zonealarm free version 9.2.105.000, AVG free version 9.0.894 and Spybot version 1.6.2.46 with latest detection update 03-23-11. The Teatimer is version 1.6.2.0 and system settings protector is 1.6.6.32.
The problem I am having is that when the Resident Teatimer is check marked to be "on" or "active" which is the setting I keep it on, is that it seems to be interfering with Zonealarm completely setting up when the computer is first starting up. When I hover my mouse pointer over the Zonealarm icon in the bottom right hand side of the task bar a small window shows "Protection is up, UI is initializing". It seems that Zonealarm is working but will not let me into the application. But as soon as I Uncheck/disable Resident "Teatimer" and restart the laptop Zonealarm completely starts and is fully initialized and I can get into the application. Then if I want to have protection of over-all system settings then I go in to Spybot and re-enable Resident Teatimer.
I first thought that this was strictly a Zonealarm issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Made sure I got the correct download by verify through checksum etc. Disabled the AVG. But I seem to have narrowed it down to the Teatimer. The last couple of days I have restarted the computer about 15 times and have had no problem with Zonealarm fully loading when the resident teatimer is unchecked.
Any thoughts on how to correct this or a work around. Is a complete uninstall of Spybot and then reinstall possibly required?
Thanks
Andrew
