I have reason to suspect that the reg area killed my ability to update zonealarm sucurity suite. I keep getting an updclient.exe,-279 after scanning with CCleaner. I more than likely deleted this entry previously but it keeps returning.. anyone else having this issue?

Winxp with pevious version to 2.06 when issues began.

Options -> Exclude
