here is what happened when i did.

I booted up, could not surf, or ping out. Start program, ZA. start up the ZA and i could surf. I could turn it off and still surf.

but with it out of start up, I could never surf on the web untill i at least started ZA up. After it has run once per boot, my computer didn't care if it was running or not.

So i ask, why could i not surf simply because i didn't start it up?
Easy. That's part of the ZA 'package'. Stops a trojan horse from doing what you did. There are three parts to ZA -- the program, the minilog and the true vector service. A trojan macro can take any one out of the startup, but not all three without the user noticing. If you disable ZA, the true vector service will just stop all incoming and outgoing packets dead.
