Me again,
I finished running the Trend Micro thing. As far as I can make out it found nothing, no viruses. It does say that it detected some errors or could not set file for reading. Does any of this make any sense?

How is your computer acting now? Are you still seeing problems?

No no problems, but there hasn't been since I said about the crashes last time. The telltale sign was when I could not install ZoneAlarm or SpyBot. Should I try to install them now?
Yes, let's try that nowOriginally Posted by martybelfast
Let me know how that goes.
And some very good free Antivirus Programs to try...something to start with anywayPick one that works well for you. (Don't run all 3 at once - just run one as your resident program)
AVG

Sorry, still getting the error when installing ZoneAlarm...
The file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZoneLabs\vsmon.exe
could not be opened
will try SpyBot but got a feeling it will not work. The way it works is that it installs, but when I try to run it, it is missing the main .exe file, the shortcut comes up as an unrecognised file and when clicked cannot locate the original.
Will try to download and install AVG but this was also not working before
Can you try this please?

Sorry your head must be twisted with me...
Went through this and can't get it working, get the message:
The system cannot find the file specified and
The system cannot find the file regedit.com
Got regedit open by just searching for it. Followed the instructions but where it says to change the current value to data its already them same as whats there...
How about Spybot, is it also giving you a problem on install?

I found a similar problem described with Zone Alarm here:

I'm not sure what the problem is, whether it is ZA itself or a result of the virus infection. You could try uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, which would essentially reinstall IE and put your security registry settings back to default.
Zone Labs has a forum for Installation problems here:
