Ok, I'm have some, shall we say... "interesting", computer problems. I use ZoneAlarm as my firewall, it works well, I'm happy with it, yadda yadda. Anywho, yesterday I go to update it because a new build is out. Well, something screwed up in the midst of the upgrade and ZoneAlarm ran, but some parts of it weren't fully functional. No big deal, I think, I'll just install it, do a clean install, and it'll be all good.

I uninstalled it just through Add/Remove programs, tried installing it, no dice. It won't install, gives me some error msg regarding a missing dll. I tried looking into specifics on the dll, downloaded it, put it where it needed to be, and tried running the installation again. And my computer restarts! It boots back up, dll is gone, installation file is gone. I was a bit frustrated with it by that point, so I gave up for the day.

Today, I went through the registry and got rid of all entries that referenced ZoneLabs, figuring that maybe something with that is screwing up the installation. Tried installing ZoneAlarm again, BAM! Computer restarts. Loads up again, installation file is gone. Try it again, same thing. Bah!

Anybody got a clue as to why the fuck my computer would be restarting when I go to install this damn program? I downloaded the installer straight from ZoneLab's website, so I know it shouldn't have a virus or anything, but I've never seen something like this happen before.
