Some virus' actualy has the ability to disable ur anti-virus software, like how it can disable windows updates and everything, so a scan after the virus gets in won't find it. And i read that some virus' have the ability to also interfere with Anti-virus software installation when the virus is already there.
So yeah, one possibility is that ur Zone Alarm Security was probably disabled by the virus or something. It hapen to me before too. I got AVG fudgeed up by a virus, and it won't update and everything.
But that's only a possibility.

Ok, Microsoft OneCare is tested to be very bad.
Here's a quote of myself in another thread.
Assassinator Wrote:About how good anti-virus is, based on detection rates, here are some stats:
http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/er...007_02.php
So yeah, Norton is not the best, but it's not really spoon, like what everyone thinks either. If your wondering about spoon, check up Microsoft's antivirus.
And AVG is actually slightly worse than Norton, in terms of detection rates, but has a more likable GUI than Norton.
the best one seems to be something i haven't even heard of. Check the results for urself.
Microsoft's antivirus solution REALLY SUCKS BALLS. it failed so hard in the tests that it didn't even get a certification level. LolLolLol
=DON'T use Microsoft OneCare
