Thanks, I use Sygate on desktop PC with Windows ME after
getting Blue Screen of Death with ZA and KB article said
to remove Zone Alarm. I know many people like Zone Alarm
but guess I was one of the few unlucky ones that it
caused problems. I have XP and will find out about it
from other group. Maybe I will end up uses Sygate on this
PC.
Thanks everyone!
Susan
