Zone Alarm suddenly shuts down...

Recently while I was scanning for trojans, with TrojanHunter (and cleaning my temporary internet folder), Zone Alarm Pro decided to shut down. The program quickly asked me if I wanted True Vector back up but I am wondering if this perhaps was the reaction of a malicious program inside the PC or if sometimes it happens and I shouldn't be particularly worried...

 

Sounds like a virus/worm of some sort. A lot of them do that these days. Try downloading : Stinger BUT before you run it, change the name of the executable. That could fool the worm enough to stop it from closing it.

 

Thanks

I am running the file now, thanks for the link. I was stealthed so it suprised me even more, not that ti prevents it of course but it just sort of did. I am clean apparently, thank you. I also scanned with the aforementioned applications and avast.
