When ever I try to install zonealarm for vista on my comp it tells me I dont have permissions and I need to run it through my admin account (which I have tried) it worked fine on my other comp using vista, any suggestions?

note: this is a legit copy of zonealarm

Don't use Zone Alarm in Vista... Uninstall it and try Windows Live OneCare:

i had problems with vista ZA (my pc wouldn't turn off ;)) but that was a while ago

try right clicking the installer and clicking "Run as administrator" unless you want to install onecare

all vista accounts are the same, they're not admin or limited any more, but some installers will only work when run as administrator is clicked
