Last week I got a new computer and it ran fine until I installed zonealarm. Then zonealarm would crash on startup and even after trying several things (includding a clean uninstall of the program) I could not log into certain web sites. Also programs that connect to the internet would crash soon after I open them.
Well yesterday I finally got my computer running again after reseting the CMOS and a reformat. I bought a router because I didn't want to mess with a software firewall again. Guess what, I have the exact same problem. Can't log into some sites (I'm retyping this again because I had to relogin, at least I can even log in period) internet programs crash, also AVG and some other program crashed on startup.
It sounds like it could be a firewall issue but I should also mention this: The computer has only worked fine 2 days (yesterday and first day) Both days I left it on overnight (because I play poker profesionally and let it gather data on other players) THe following day when I restart it the problems happen. I don't know if that means anything but I thought I would include it. Since AVG and another program crashes this might point to something else.
I have run antivirus, adaware and pcbugdoctor, all show no problems.
What do you guys think this could be? ANy help is appreciated
Thanks
