I'm trying to install ZoneAlarm firewall but the program installer detects that Pc-cillin is installed on my computer. I have removed pc-cillin well over a year ago from my computer and removed any traces I could find. Is there a solution to this little problem? Thanks

Thanks for the help. It was pc-cillin 2005 (suite) that was installed on my computer. I think that the problem solved itself on its own. Doesn't detect Pc-cillin anymore but finds that I have Sygate firewall installed and ask to remove it before I can install zonealarm. Problem solved.
