now, lets see if i can explain this right..
I had zonealarm untill a pop-up box at the bottem right hand corner of the screen showed up saying: something about that the computer was infected with spyware. in attempt to banish the spyware i took action and did a full scan with zone alarm. it said my time has expired and i need to buy and download a renewed version. right now i cant be buying one of these puppies.
The box keeps popping up every 30seconds or so, saying the computer is infected. i clicked it once to see what would happen-- bad idea. now i have this "pest control" wanting me to buy its product for...ONLY 29.95$!!!
how do i get rid of the pest control, get zonealarm back, and banish the spyware? this is for all you people who really know what your doing. any ways to get around the spyware without buying the new thing? i doubt it. any part of my question that can be answered would be awesome. thanks to all you computer luvas who know what your doing!

OK, first of all, I'm not understanding how you were able to do a scan with zone-alarm? LOL.
it's a firewall, and the popups are telling you that something is trying to connect, that's all it will do is tell you that about every 30 seconds or so. You need to configure Zone-alarm to accept the things you trust,and not accept the things you don't. You do that by going into Zone-alarm and going to programs it's detecting.
