Really annoying problem with firewall/AV suite

[13Gigatons]

I uninstalled Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 because it would stop loading parts of webpages, I decided to try bitdefenders new total security 2008 and it does the same damn thing.

I never had these problems when I was using Zone Alarm.

Never mind, it turned out to a corrupted Firefox profile.

FYI for anyone moving from Zone Alarm to another security product:

Zone Alarm is probably still on your system, you have to do a clean uninstall to fully purge the TruVector monitoring system, regular add/remove programs will not remove zone alarm.

Go into the Start menu and the Zonelabs entry, right click on the uninstaller and select 'Properties'. In the target box add a space and then /clean to the end so it looks like this: C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zauninst.exe /clean then click 'Apply' and 'OK'. Open ZA and turn off the load on boot option, reboot and then run the uninstaller (the one you change the shortcut for) This will get rid of ZA. Go to the Windows temp folder and delete everything, then find the folder named Internet logs, delete it, then empty your recycle bin. ZA should be gone.
