Hi, I'll try to keep this short. I'm having a problem with the Security Center. I'm running Zone alarm for my firewall and SP2 does not see it. So I check the box saying I have a firewall, then click Ok. Then I go into how Security Center notifies me of exceptions, take out all the check marks, exit out of everthing. It works wonderful, until I shutdown or restart my computer. Then we start all over again. Is there any way, other than shooting my computer, to turn Securtiy Center off? for good? Thanks for all the help. Regina Long XP pro SP2 Zone Alarm Ad-aware Spybot Norton AVG The NOSPIN Group is now accepting donatations to continue providing PCSOFT and our website.
