Had to reinstall my PC and it hasn’t gone on this time, strangely enough…

Still, you remind me of installing NIC drivers on a Windows 98 machine in Japanese… (It was mid 1999) Course, less complicated than removing something. On a French machine. Using VNC. (I’d already installed said drivers on a few other machines that were English, so I knew roughly what the buttons meant and which to click)

and I forgot tosay the computer in question was in Marseille and I was in Edinburgh and debugging firewall problems via vnc on a french computer is not fun.

Which is good.

Yeah, one of its tricks was to install a driver that disables port 80, then that driver to die blocking all web access. Then having no fix for this to refuse to uninstall that driver when removed leaving me to manually search through the disk to remove it.

Of course Zone Alarm support deny that it actually does this and just sound like a marketing dept. Thank fuck for google is all I can say.
