ZA is o.k. as long as its on your machine, although it does slow things down a bit. And, wnat troubles with your computer? Try removing ZA. Removing the free version of ZA will give you all the troubles you can take and then some. I rec'd info from them as to how to get it off my system. It entails going into the heart of the OS, something I'm not about to try. I tried all the steps they recommended up to getting into the BIOS. Nothing worked. Fortunately (or more accurately, unfortunately) my HD crashed at about the same time I was trying to get rid of ZA so the fresh HD solved the problem.
