I've just updated my ZA firewall due to attachment issues with my Lycos Mail & Zone Alarm. The version I have now is 5.5.062 and have noticed a new entry in my system files (Set tvdumpflags=10) I have Googled this but am none the wiser but get the impression I do not really require it as it keeps adding entries willy nilly.

I already have ZLT#### making entry logs like mad in my Windows/Temp and could do without this causing entries for the sake of it.

Anyone please advise

Thankyou.

check autoexec.bat, something to do with tv tuner?no ,or...

True Vector service
...Every time you reinstalled it, another "tvdumpflags" line was added to your autoexec.bat.
It's a parameter ZA uses to create a log file every time something goes wrong with ZA's True Vector service. Sometimes ZA's support might need the log file to troubleshoot a problem.
But you only need one instance of it, to remove the others, click Start > Run > sysedit and highlight the tvdumpflags by dragging your mouse over the entry, then hit the "Delete" button on your keyboard.

also check config.sys using sysedit or notepad...:)

Thanks bofra I saw that while researching but I had only one instance of Set tvdumpflags=10, however I've took the possibly unwise initiative to delete this line in autoexec.bat and now my PC closes down correctly without the BSOD.

Now to wait & see if it gets battered by spyware etc, so far so good.
