v3.1.395 was actually the last version I ran without any problems. The trouble
began when I upgraded to the next version and had to try and get Zone Labs
tech support to actually give me the support I paid for. After fooling with them
and trying to get a fix and got nothing but brain dead suggestions about things
to try, I asked for a refund for the "support" I had recently renewed and they
refused saying that I was over the 30 day trial period. I will never have anything
to do with Zone Labs again...
