Firewall Problem

[Jimmeh]

Okay, the other day I got a message saying Zone Alarm needs to update. I click Okay, download the file and half way through upgrading it ballses up and says some .dll is fecked or somesuch.

No big deal I though, only Zone Alarm has disappeared now. I try to reinstall it, but I get the same .dll issue, and even after downloading and replacing the .dll file it's still not happy.

So I thought I could just not bother with a firewall, but on my computer (I'm on me dads right now) I've got about five minutes from when I log on to use the internet. Any longer and niether Firefox and IE work. All internet applications like LimeWire, MSN and Xfire work fine though. I tried fiddling about with Windows Firewall, I've deleted all left over files from ZoneAlarm but it always happens.

Any Ideas?

I'd hope you have some kind of anti-virus on there was well.
Also, did you try writing down the name of the dll and just searching Google or the ZoneAlarm forums?

Also, Happy 2000th post to me.

The first dll file that file buggered up was "vsmonapi.dll" which I replaced, which got me to the installation, and then the second is "vsdata.dll" which still seems to be ballsed up even after I replaced it.

I might just try and make a new Windows user account, we'll see what that does.

Oh, and I've got nod32 anti-virus software

Edit - Sorted. I always try sorting it out for ages, then when I eventually post here I work it out myself
