Users Report Major Problems With ZoneAlarm 5.0

A large number of users are reporting major problems with the installation of the ZoneAlarm Pro 5.0 release.
The problems seem to center around conflicts with McAfee and Norton Antivirus software products.

Zone Labs has apparently pulled the update off their web site due to these problems, but that is too late for those of you who already downloaded it and installed it.

Our contact at ZoneLabs states, "We are aware of the user forums, (and) are in the process of gathering information from individual users, and will post a response shortly."
