mystery firewall

jdonk70 · 09-10-2006, 09:13 AM

it all started a few weeks ago when i loaded google earth, it loaded fine but would not connect to the server. slowly the more programs i install such as the major one, bf2 1.4 patch, icq, etc, wont connect to the net, bf2 server refuses the connection. I have zone alarm, i can turn it off but still something is restricting access to recently loaded programs.
I have a d-link dsl-502T. i have scoured through my pc, searched and searched & am mystified, i'm dyin here.

Did you at one time have Norton or McAfee on your system?

no, but upon booting up, zone alarm asked once if sygate can connect.

Sygate, a firewall, was aquired by Symantec (Norton). You may have remnants of it still on your computer conflictng with ZoneAlarm. Check your
Add/Remove section.

i found it, sygate personal firewall, but can't uninstall it, there is no uninstall icon in the program folder, add/remove won't give me an option to remove and it is not displayed in advanced uninstaller. Not sure how i can remove it? can you help?
