I decided to reinstall my ZoneAlarm b/c whenever i Shutdown my zonealarm and re-activate it it crashes my computer, it quickly goes black and turns blue with a bunch of text that i am not able to pick up in the short time before it(not blue screen of death) restarts itself.
Should i un-install ZoneAlarm first? I kinda want to keep all my information since it took me a while to acquire the all the allow and dis-allow's. If there is no other way then i'll un-install it. But if it doesn't help, then i don't want to do something i will regret.
Please and thanks.
