i recently uninstalled zone alarm. Now when i go to delete the folder in program files, it says the following "cannot delete zvalscan.dll: access is denied. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
It's cos the program is running at the same time- if you want to remove the program then go to "Add/ Remove" under Control Panel and remove it from there, that's the normal way of uninstalling programs.
Did you ever isntall the Zone Alarm firewall IIRC it has the ability to lock access to the host file, see if this link helps- http://www.help2go.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,32/page,viewtopic/p,95497/
