i am having trouble connecting to the internet using IE. MSN messenger freezes when trying to connect. i am using zone alarm pro v. 2.6.362. IEXPLORER is allowed to connect using local and internet but when i open IE the icon does not show up in Zone Alams programs. The only thing in the programs box is services and controller apps.

allso check your computer for spyware d/l spybot search and destroy,update them run them.
do online scan at housecall anti virus.
if running win 98-m.e do scan disk and defrag. because its sounding like theres something useing up your system resources. not just fire wall as the only cause.

I am using win2k.
It was able to conenct before.
I used TDS-3 to remove trojans and deleted 4 objects and it stopped working shortly after that. Everything internet related will either not connect or freeze. When i close IE, IEXPLORE.EXE is left in the task manager and when i try to end process it says "The operation could not be completed. Access denied."
I tried removing IE from zone alarm and when i run IE zone alarm does not ask for permission.
When i open IE and then close it, it is left is the task manager and if i open it again it creates a new IEXPLORE.EXE in the task manager.

hello
you might try a repair of ie 6 by going to add/remove and remove it.than when the window comes up choose the repair option.
now since you use w2k i,m not 100% sure if this will apply it dose for 98-xp goto start run type sfc /scannow
you will need your install cd.
i have used w2k very little so you may want to wait till some one else can confirm sfc/scannow for w2k.
