I'm running ZA for a long time on different W2k pc's. The only minor I
have is that somethimes (1 or 2 times a month) the following message is
logged:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: True Vector Engine
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 1 ) in Source ( True Vector Engine )
cannot
be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. The following information is part of the event: .
Data:
File "C:\WINNT\Internet Logs\\<somefile>" was corrupt and has been
deleted..

And I don't know what caused the event
and how to resolve this.

If you want to test your firewall,
try http://scan.sygatetech.com
