Okay, doing a search for tmp files, to see if I can spot one of those "logs".... there is one, it's 2,300 KB, wonder if I should delete it?

This depends on if you want to read it later, it might contain a nice story for bedtime later.

Size does matter   or   every little bit counts!

most tmp files are safe to delete, but I'd rather we just find the ones in relation to Zone Alarm
(so you wont cuss me out if something else goes wrong)
Instead of searching for tmps. search for Logs.
As many as 10 folders may come up. Look in each yellow folder titled Logs for ZA.tmp ZA.txt
or anything ZA :)

Ps...you cant download updates...how can you download another program ?


Several have come up... ok.

Under "internet logs" folder, a bunch of ZA stuff, and "tvDebug" which was part of that ZA solution link, right?

Delete the whole folder? It's a whoooole bunch of 'em in there.

Id keep the folder available though for future use. And of course, if this solves your issue,
copy the instructions for future use.
My fingers are crossed

Also found another log folder, there's only one item in it, "hcupdate", from 2008, looks like something from the HP help center, it's 1,043 kb.

*hugsssss ya for your help*

Id also do a reboot once those stinking hogs are deleted completely.
Please keep us all posted if this resolved your issue.
**hugs back**

I love multiples
