glassdarkly | More computer woes

Hi, everyone. Just a quick post made from work to let you know that I'm currently unable to access the internet at all from home. This just happened last night. I suspect a particularly nanny-like security program called Zone Alarm is to blame. It seems to have arbitrarily decided that our internet browsers (both IE and Firefox) are some kind of threat and won't allow us to connect to them.

Of course, this had to happen when my husband is away and I don't dare just ininstall the program because I suspect it's one of these ones that leaves things behind in the file registry that have to be removed by hand (and very carefully indeed. Can't even access the Zonelabs user forum to see if anyone there has had a similar problem.

My husband is back tonight and I'm keeping my fingers crossed he'll be able to sort it out quickly but it depends how late he gets back and what sort of mood he's in unfortunately.

Obviously, this means no update today but I'm hoping normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

I'm so sorry you're having problems, Deb. I had Zone Lab at one point and it caused problems so we uninstalled it. Unfortunately, neither of us can remember exactly what the problems were. Hopefully your husband will be able to sort it out.

There's not much point to this post except to wish you all the luck. Today's update is much missed and I'm sure you miss browsing your flist. Fingers crossed you'll be back on line very soon.

Thanks, Kitty. I managed to post when I got home after all. Dunno if you've noticed yet.

The blithering thing had decided to work while I was out. Have no idea why and no idea why it didn't work this morning.

Not a good sign but at least the update is up.

I have only one thing to say to the news about the update: YAY!

Would answer your comment with only a smiley icon but this LJ doesn't have one.

Have a porny one instead.
