    Uninstalled Zone Alarm Free in Win10 safe mode, now net won't work


    Good day all, I was having trouble with Zonealarm sucking up giant swaths of my CPU output, so I decided to uninstall it. I couldn't do it in regular windows 10 so I booted into safe mode and uninstalled it. Now when I boot back in to regular windows all my networking won't work, cabled or wifi.

    I tried using the zonealarm uninstall tool but apparently it's only for Windows 7. I tried reinstalling Zone Alarm that I got on another PC onto a usb stick so I could remove it properly but every copy I can find requires the internet to connect to to download the software.

    Any help that could be offered would be most appreciated.
    Thanks for your time.

    :)

    Unable to uninstall Zone Alarm ?


    Right click the Taskbar and start the Task Manager. Take the drop down arrow and choose More Details. Under the Processes tab look for Zone Alarm and highlight it and End the Process.
    Now use the Zone Alarm Uninstall tool ZoneAlarm Uninstall Tool Download
    We don't suggest Reinstalling Zone Alarm, you really don't need it. We find it creates false positives and blocks web traffic that is not harmful. You really only need the Windows Firewall and Windows Defender.

    Unable to uninstall Zone Alarm ?


    Had Zone Alarm for years and like it, however during a routine ZAlarm update for some reason it stuck at about 27% and wouldn't move. Eventually decided to uninstall and re-install via their support desk but now keep getting "Unable to stop Zone Alarm".

    All this might have been caused by occasionally using Win 7 on the same router I don't know, but is there a way to completely remove/ uninstall the old one before I can replace with a new one ?

    Thanks

    Uninstalled Zone Alarm Free in Win10 safe mode, now net won't work

    Zone Alarm Pro


    Perhaps it was "told" to uninstall; maybe don't count out Zone Alarm Pro or free just yet. What happened when you attempted to reinstall it?
